If your IP (and possible your browser) looks “suspicious” or has been used by other users before, you need to add additional information for registration on gitlab.com, which includes your mobile phone number and possibly credit card information. Since it is not possible to contribute or even report issues on open source projects without doing so, I do not think any open source project should use this service until they change that.

    GitLab is becoming more and more like GitHub.

    Well, duh. That’s the sales pitch: “Like GitHub, but cheaper.”

      Except it’s way more expensive than GitHub. They jacked up the prices pretty hard. Now it’s like $15/contributor for private orgs, and it’s like $5 on GitHub for the same and more features.

        Free for self-hosting, though.

        Yeah I’m not gonna lie GitHub has clearly been trying to keep up with gitlabs feature set not the other way around for years
