Gitlab is fucking joking right???

What the fuck, for real?!

don't they have limit of issues in the free plan? Why not being able to at least export those :|

Oh, that's unfortunate...

If you have the ressources, I'd recommend to run your own Gitlab server 😉
It is not too difficult to install (I run it on a Debian server) andit even runs (not too fast though) on a RaspberryPi.

@PonySlaystation I used to have gitlab on our server but its a fucking nightmare to be honest, gitea/gogs is a dream to manage resources compared to gitlab, I'm so frustrated with the direction gitlab is going with this issues issue ( lol ) that I'm really considering starting contributing to gitea or gogs and moving to it permanently...

@azous how good are gitea and gogs?
They are new to me :\

@gitpush gitea is a "community" fork of gogs.

Its written in go, ridiculous small memory footprint, fast as hell.
It has the basics: pull request, issue boards, webhooks...

Might be more mature its been some time I don't use it.

Its only self hosted but both have a cloud test environment.

@azous I'll give it a go but what I like about Gitlab is the auto build and test when pushing to server. MS has it but it is paid after 240mins
I don't recall if Gitlab has a limit for local deployments

@gitpush yeah, I love that too :(

They have a limit for pipelines its 2000 minutes if I recall correctly

@azous guess we get something and give something in return :/

@gitpush yeah, I understand , they have to pay their bills and all...

But these features where working before and the CE is open source after all...

I guess they fucked up only projects inside groups though, gonna check that later :/

@azous oh I didn't know that I've been a long time user of Microsoft Team Services, I'm planning on setting up Gitlab locally and now I'm testing it online to see if it is worth it

@gitpush at least 3gb memory :)

@azous as in required RAM to run it locally?

@gitpush yep

@gitpush Stay on VSTS... Running a repo + CI server locally makes no sense IMO. Why struggle with maintenance, hardware, backups, etc. when you have a great service available online.

@NGPixel of course this makes no sense at all. I just recommend it for local mirror, locally testing. For me in going to do it for local building just for the sake of learning but my main work will for sure be pushed online.
