Have you ever thought of hosting plugins and/or themes on site?

Using something like GitLab instead of Github to centralize the repository?

We're eventually going to create some sort of NodeBB plugin repository ("repo" in the loosest sense), similar to npm. I don't see plugins migrating out of GitHub anytime soon

Thanks for sharing this site! Unlimited private repository for free it's something that I looking for many times.
I was about to take a pro account on github for this purpose, which is $ 7 / month for 5 private limited repository.
You save my money.
I am testing this great site right now.

I think for a Open Source project like NodeBB, the better choice is github, because it's the most popular site, and it become also a platform for promote your product.

On the other side, for commercial project, which ask a fee for use product, you need private repository like github offer in account pro.

gitlab seem good alternative in my case.

Thanks !!

Best!!

@kamov you can also try bitbucket if you're looking for hosted Git or Mercurial solution. They're offering free plans with 5 users and unlimited private repos (and some other neat stuff).

+1 for BitBucket (even though at times it can be slow)

We stick with GitHub for NodeBB as it is better known

Plus, at least in my opinion, Github has the better UX.

@Mr_Waffle -- I do like what BitBucket has done with the source graph, at least. Much better than GitHub:

To each their own, of course

@julian Alright, that's pretty nice But aside from that, I like the overall navigation from Github more. Little things like being able to see the latest commit in a folder without opening it.

I'll probably be laughed off here but I do use Github for Windows and its pretty damn awesome for the simple things. Still need to bust out the terminal for complicated things but for your everyday workflow I love it. Plus the UI is pretty and so if I get merge conflicted up the (mooning) I don't feel like throwing my laptop out the window

@psychobunny HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-I use GitHub for Mac.

[BarveyHirdman]

@psychobunny I also use GitHub for Windows. I think it's the best Git GUI actually.

I'm using the Git implementation in PhpStorm, one of the best IDE Git integrations I've seen. Visual Studio can learn a thing or 2000 from that.
