No , no and no My fault if I did not make this clear so let me make this crystal
*Under no circumstance choose GitLab over Github unless the following conditions apply* *1) You want unlimited amount of free private repos* *2) You want a 10GB repo* *3) You want a 1GB webpage* *4) You want to deploy at your own server a github like repo hub* Open source projects use public repos and for those Github is the best choice. I was one of the first here to recommend pharo developers to move to git and github , that wont change any time soon. In case you are not aware of a private repo is a repo that you wont be able to clone, fork even view online. The only way to do the things you can with a public repo is to be given specific permition and Gitlab offers a huge array of permissions that are about cloning, forking, viewing, creating new issues, merges , pull requests etc. Open source projects would make little to no sense to use a private repo, hence Github remains the best choice mainly because of visibility and exposure.
