Need some advice on GIT
-
I am planning to replace svn with GIT for our dev team. Overwhelmed with the different types on git implementation and leaning more towards to gitlab, as this seems to be a better self hosted alternative to github.
I wanted to deploy on my centos server and test it, but when i checked today, with some tutorials, couldn't get it up and running. Can you recommend any good tutorials/pointers to setup gitlab, if anyone already done this?
-
We use Atlassian Stash for our in house GIT repo and BitBucket for hosted.
-
Thanks @scottalanmiller Atlassian & BitBucket are paid i believe. Moving out from our free subversion server, I need a solid free self hosted GIT option. Thats the reason I was checking Gitlab
-
How many users do you have?
-
Our dev team is around 100 users
-
-
Found an easy installer with bitnami- https://bitnami.com/stack/gitlab
Installed, up and running in 5 minutes!
But I still want to configure it from scratch manually. If I could successfully complete this, will post a how-to!
-
Awesome, does it have a nice web interface or GIT interface only?
-
It has great web interface. Manage users, groups, logs, wiki, issues etc. All what we were looking for, the guys started testing this already and really love it!
For me to be happy, I need to deploy this manually, but now to get all up and running, learning git commands!

Demo for gitlab http://demo.gitlab.com/users/sign_in

@ambarishrh Oh, very nice. I like it.
-
Yeah all of our guys liked it, now need to put a proper plan for migrating our subversion to git lab and train everyone, wish me luck!

Have fun with that
-
Looks like you found a great solution. I'm really interested to hear how the developers end up liking it.
-
@StrongBad They like it very much, but its the learning curve, need to plan this and educate all users on this and make the switch, its a long path
-
GIT definitely has some learning curve. What were they using before?
-
@scottalanmiller subversion. we are still using it! Need to migrate all those to GIT. Currently on testing/training phase.
