  Have you asked the developers? Other users here might not use GitLab.

  Never heard of it before, checked it out an it looks pretty cool so thanks OP :P Currently use Gitorious for my private Git projects, but that sucks.

  I know @djvdorp mentioned it here, but that would be a good idea to do ass well too. LET is just hardcoded in my fingers, just like vim...

  @AsadHaider Real Pro's use tools that gets work finished at the end of the day. Some even use stone tablets...

  @djvdorp the backup runs for about 30 min, and gives a 6 gb backup... Is that OK?

  @fly I've not setup this beast repo, so I wouldn't know that, maybe on their website...

  @happel How many projects do you have?
• happel Member

  July 2012

  @raymii maybe a dozen relatively small php projects. But the repositories are stored in the /home/git directory if I'm not mistaken.
