I am used to the GitHub environment because that’s all I’ve always worked with but I saw this as a challenge to adapt to a new environment. Pre-gitlab we were using like 5 different tools and the complexity of integrating them all was getting out of hand and also quite expensive, trying to tie together New Relic, Codeship, Github, Jenkins, Chef, and Terraform was no fun… not to mention Digital Ocean, AWS, Azure, and MongoDB Cloud The reason is that Gitlab has some out of the box Features like integrated DevOps inbuilt into their system, unlike Github where you’ll have to do all these yourselves. Last week, the company I work for, decided to move all it’s codebase from Github to Gitlab. I personally prefer to use Github Desktop as my main git client rather than Source Tree or Gitkraken. Checkout branches with pull requests and view CI statuses Attributing commits with collaborators easilyĢ.It is written in TypeScript and uses React. GitHub Desktop is an open-source Electron-based GitHub app. GitHub Desktop is a fast and easy way to contribute to projects from Windows and OS X, whether you are a seasoned user or new user, GitHub Desktop is designed to simplify all processes and workflow in your GitHub.
