I think this is a nice article and I will take a peek at GitLab.  I have to say the following though:  I have been very annoyed with the difficulty in creating private repos in GitHub <i>BUT</i> I think it is a brilliant plan to encourage people to make their code available.  As much as GitHub&#x27;s pay-for-private-repos approach annoys me, I think if they hadn&#x27;t done that, 30% or more of what&#x27;s available on GitHub would be hidden.  People made and make their code public because they have to pay not to.  Brilliant, and the right approach for GitHub.
