Inspiration
A source-code-hosting facility (also known as forge) is a file archive and web hosting facility for source code of software, documentation, web pages, and other works, accessible either publicly or privately. They are often used by open-source software projects and other multi-developer projects to maintain revision and version history, or version control. Many repositories provide a bug tracking system, and offer release management, mailing lists, and wiki-based project documentation. Software authors generally retain their copyright when software is posted to a code hosting facilities.
What it does
How we built it:On September 17, 2021, GitLab Inc. publicly filed a registration statement Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to the proposed initial public offering of its Class A common stock.[49] The firm began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker "GTLB" on October 14, 2021.
Challenges we ran into:-In March 2015, GitLab Inc. acquired competing Git hosting Service Gitorious, which had around 822,000 registered users at the time.[52] These users were encouraged to move to GitLab and the Gitorious service was discontinued in June 2015.[
On March 15, 2017, GitLab Inc. Announced the acquisition of Gitter.[53] Included in the announcement was the stated intent that Gitter would continue as a standalone project. Additionally, GitLab Inc. announced that the code would become open-source under an MIT License no later than June 2017.[54]
In January 2018, GitLab Inc. acquired Gemnasium, a service that provided security scanners with alerts for known security vulnerabilities in open-source libraries of various languages.The service was scheduled for complete shut-down on May 15.
