GitLab&#x27;s UI is pretty terrible, even compared to the not-so-great-either BitBucket UI.<p>GitLab&#x27;s UI&#x2F;UX is regressive to the point that when you visit a repo, you have to click another link just to see the damn sourcecode. It&#x27;s as though they ignored every advance in source-code UX post-Sourceforge.<p>The stacked global and per-repo sidebars are confusing in a way that baffled me for several minutes, as well. They need a serious rethink of their UI&#x2F;UX.
