Ask HN: What Happened to Gitlab?

2 points

3 years ago

I used GitLab in the (not so distant) past, and it always was like GitHub. A web based collaborative software version control system on top of Git.

Today I visited gitlab.com and it now redirects to about.gitlab.com which looks like a sales page for an enterprise SaaS product.

It has a "Get free trial" button which leads to a "Free 30-day trial".

What happened? Is GitLab not a place anymore where you can publish open source code so everyone can fork and contribute?

Is Microsoft's Github the only gang in town now?
