Well, gitlab is way better. Github is the Facebook of developers.

Gitlab docs say the absolutely bare minimum of RAM to run it is 4GB. And that's just for gitlab, never mind Postgres. That's something like $70/mo just to host some git repos on a major cloud provider.

And if you're talking about the hosted solution... we use that at work. We have what are effectively outages once a week on average.

I like the way Gitlab as a company is run and I really want to like it but... I use gitea at home and we're actively migrating away from it at work.

    Don't use a major cloud provider. That's $20/mo with Digital Ocean.

    • Okay, host it wherever you're comfortable, but 4GB of RAM is still an absurd requirement for hosting a few git repos.

    Can confirm that gitea's pretty nice. It's not heavier than a web-based git host should be. I really like that it has a SQLite database option, since that's plenty good enough for low-tens of users and operationally simpler.

  • I like the LG A12IWK inverter wall-mounted air conditioner, although a split unit is also great. I learned that having competent air conditioning installation engineers, as well as having their service and solving any air conditioner problems, is essential. The air conditioner had a leak that was immediately corrected, and we were pleased to remain. What business to pick, what model of an air conditioner to buy, what to seek for on the Internet, each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. You'll be able to tell which option is preferable for you. This air conditioner is safe if it has a ventilation option that draws [url=https://www.spartamech.co.uk/air-conditioning-service//url]a... from the street[/url].

I self host my repositories. In this way I do not care about either. But when I am searching for code Github proves to be very good source. I would not say that projects hosted on Gitlab are any better
