Hi Sandro, Thanks for your feedback.

How is the situation of gitlab community edition (which I guess is the one installed on that server) vs gitlab enterprise ? I heard (maybe last year) that gitlab CE may have "scaling" issues with a number of users. > > > the "Merge" button from github couldn't (shouldn't) be used. > > This seems to be about the only issue making full switch to GitHub > preferred over a simple mirror. No, that's definitely not the only one reason. As far as I'm concerned, there are several aspects : * social one: GH is (may be my biased perception) currently the place by default to host your FOSS project. It might change in future years (as sourceforge or google code have faded away). I'd note that a number of people already find by themselves the github GDAL mirror, although it is not advertized very prominently. * technical one: sufficiently rich set of features. One of my past grief that you couldn't attach files to tickets has been removed a few months ago (you can attach zip) * availability/maintainance one. With all respect due to SAC (and SAC members deserve a lot), I don't expect volunteers to be available 24h/24 365.24days/year to make sure servers go fine. And I don't think OSGeo could afford hiring a team to do that. Or the cost would be such that it should be considered if it would not be better spent on other missions. It is hard to compete against GH on that (or any other hosted solution which has consumers paying for that service) * user experience feeling: my quick playing with https://git.osgeo.org/gitlab shows that it is significantly slower than the GH UI. Probably the effect of not being hosted on a sufficiently powerful machine. * maturity one: migrations always mean some uncertainty, so I'd prefer migrating to something "combat proven" to decrease this factor. As far as I can see, only GEOS has migrated to https://git.osgeo.org/gogs and https://git.osgeo.org/gitlab is only used as a mirror for now. > I don't know if you're aware but > there's a command line github client (it's called "hub") which > lets you do things like this: Interesting. Probably this one https://github.com/github/hub ? Even -- Spatialys - Geospatial professional services http://www.spatialys.com
