# Gitlab
|
||
|
|
### <https://gitlab.skynet.ie>

|

|
|
Gitlab is an online git repo hosting service.
|
||
|
|
Access to these repos is provided via SSH and HTTP (Although only HTTP is available off campus).
|
||
|
|
It has a solid CI/CD platform which uses its own YAML based config system.
|
||
|
|
Finally it has "folders" such as ``owner/folder/repo`` and ``owner/as/many/folders/as/ye/want/repo`` which allows for hierarchical grouping of repos.

|
## Depreciation
|
||
|
|
Skynet currently hosts a Gitlab instance, however it is currently being depreciated in favor of [Forgejo](./forgejo.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is largely due to the administrative overhead involved in running a Gitlab CE instance.
|
||
|
|
Much of the LDAP based tools are locked behind the Enterprise (EE) licence.
|
||
|
|
These tools come automatically with Forgejo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Forgejo has another advantage of being able to use Github actions, which more folks are familiar with over Gitlab.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One final reason is that the resources required to host Forgejo and its runner are far less than what are required to host Gitlab and its runner.
