Can someone please explain why GitLab is used when there’s GitHub?
Here's a list of a few possible reasons
It's still git under the hood and shouldn't make a difference in most cases.
GitHub is owned by Microsoft
Gitlab is OSS, and you can host yourself
(Ik most don't and use the public instance) Gitlab has features that GitHub don't have, or are better at somethings even if GitHub have them
^ Some reason why my organization use gitlab over GitHub, I personally use Gitea.
