Re: GitLab mirror considered harmful



In my opinion, GitHub is still superior for viewing code:

1. It is much faster. Code loads with the page instead of having to wait for AJAX request.

2. GitHub offers a feature to jump to blame from parent commit of the change: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/30749

3. GitLab does not support any references from gitrevisions(7) other than commit hash, compare https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/af34b7c25e39e727f7dbd6e3dae0e7c5fe60f141%5E and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/af34b7c25e39e727f7dbd6e3dae0e7c5fe60f141%5E

Until these are addressed, we should keep GitHub.

Hi all,

While the GitHub mirror may have been useful back before GitLab, it actually discourages contributions because PRs aren't accepted there. I've not seen from any positive outcomes from it that I can remember, only negative ones. As such I think it should be deleted.

Because of this I just filed: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/86​ – any thoughts?
