Great free self-hosted git repository
What do you like best about the product?
It's free if you host it yourself. For private projects, it has all the features I love from GitHub, but not the cost of hosting private projects on GitHub.
What do you dislike about the product?
A better system of automatically upgrading would be nice, to keep it on the latest version at all times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's nice central repository for all our projects, complete with a web interface similar to GitHub.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy to deploy a test GitLab setup on Digital Ocean in just a few minutes and it's a very inexpensive way to evaluate the software.

Great alternative to Github
What do you like best about the product?
We love the C.I. integration with our branches.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love how the merge requests are set up for code review. It makes it very difficult to manage a code review when everything is just files stacked on top of each other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control of our source code, automated builds, code reviews.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use all the tools that it comes with.
Everything a Forge needs
What do you like best about the product?
It's open source. It has an open way to extend it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I needs better irker interface, or an interface to irccloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need shared git repos, public pages, issue tracking, and security locked repos. It's got all that.
Developer tool build by developers
What do you like best about the product?
Feature rich git solution, open source, monthly releases, free unlimited cloud, on premise option, if you want something done you can make it and collaborate it
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to pinpoint something bad about this software, since they are contantly and diligently improving; however one thing that stands out is, if using the cloud version expect issues once a month, since the cloud version (gitlab.com) is the first to update to the latest release and that comes with bugs, downtime and possible issues, that makes the cloud option a little unreliable for critical use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software source version control, issue tracking, milestone plan, automatic builds, code reviewing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For on-premise, just go for it, their is no downside, updates are a piece of cake to make, software is great and the community behind it is event better. If going for the cloud version, if you critically rely on the tool, consider either install it yourself in your cloud provider of choice or go with other tool, the once a month issues could be a problem
Gitlab review
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to have private projects enabled, with the free service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some times can be very unstable do to the amount of traffic their servers handle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Personal projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to compare it to Github and see which of both has the features that your project requires. Both of them are great!
A great free solution for hosting git repositories
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you get included access to Gitlab CI and pipelines which allows you to run continuous integration and continuous delivery in one simple configuration file.
I also like that you can host unlimited amount of repositories for free privately. This is better than hosting with Github.

What do you dislike about the product?
They have recently experienced quite a bit of downtime, and also the web app can be quite slow at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the issue of being able to host our git repositories. It allows us store our repositories privately for free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try using it on a few projects first, see how it fits into your workflow and take advantage of the pipelines features.
The best free git repository manager I've found
What do you like best about the product?
Interface is extremely intuitive and setup is dead-easy. It isn't resource intensive, meaning I can run this on an old linux-rooted chromebook as a secure physical repository for some of my personal experiments. Unlike some other products, administration has been minimal since I've set this up. Git is cleanly exposed, meaning I can hook up other git clients to communicate well with gitlab. Also has a quick and easy zip and download feature for repositories.
Has a great issue tracker.
Has a great issue tracker.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface could be simplified. I like to see the file structure of a repository when browsing into it, as well as the README.md below the file structure. Instead gitlab tends to show the readme if available, and you manually have to browse to the file structure if you wish to see it.
Wish gitlab had an issue tracker app, so I could use gitlab to track enhancements and defects for specific project using an easy-to-use dedicated app.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Git repository manager that's accessible through a website, free, but can be hooked up to any git clients to manage and maintain git repositories.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Set it up and give it a try. It's the best free option I could find.
Solid Source Control, with some odd quirks
What do you like best about the product?
The Community (free) version is surprisingly full featured. It's fairly easy to install the software, and configure new groups and projects.
It also integrates well with automated build and deploy tools like Jenkins and Maven.

What do you dislike about the product?
Getting LDAP authentication with Active Directory was somewhat painful. I also was never able to get the hook into our JIRA defect management system working properly. The documentation on this was incorrect and out of date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to get away from using Subversion, and modernize our source control system with something that integrates better with automated build and deploy products.
The best online git experience I have had.
What do you like best about the product?
The available suite of tools is extraordinary. Though github has taken all the hype, the fact that I can host any type of repository free of charge is absolutely fantastic. GitLab leaves nothing to be desired and is the only place I now use for online repo.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface and management can be a little clunky in certain areas. For example, the way the sidebar changes on context makes it hard to know where I am. I would like to see some polish in this area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being an independent developer, cost and accessibility are huge issues for me. being able to share a project with a customer and allow them to participate in the wiki and the development process has changed the way I do business. It also allows me to collaborate with colleagues on a per project basis very easily when I need extra help. It has solved my cost issues for my needs by being free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I was hired as a contractor to evaluate the current cost climate and flexibility of repository services. Because they offer additional services including on-premise services, gitlab allows you to grow in any direction you need. This has been by far the best transition I have made for myself, and it was the choice made by the company that hired me to evaluate current offerings. I can't recommend it enough.
The greatness of gitlab
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to contribute to a project. I can do many features in browser without having to use the command line. Merge requests are very simple and I like the email updates when a pipeline succeeds/fails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes my pipelines will fail for no apparent reason, it might be a server timeout of some sort but I am never told why. I also dislike how slow gitlab can be at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently using it while working on a distributed team. It is very easy to understand and having roles makes it more organized. Albeit, it doesn't tell me I'm not allowed to make merge requests unless I'm admin; I had to search for user privileges.
