It's interesting, but I use https://bitbucket.org for any private repo that I need to share with other people and github for public code. I can't see anything additional that gitlab offers, maybe I'm wrong?
Agreed. This is what I am doing too. Especially because I do most of my git work on command line, it really doesn't make a difference where the host is as far as it is reliable. Github IMHO offers a much better interface than bitbucket, but unlimited private repo is unbeatable for bitbucket. They have the totally opposite business model that I wonder which one has a higher margin.
Github is on it's own, Bitbucket is part of a huge Atlassian's portfolio of apps, I guess the revenue from BB is less important than attracting customers to their other services. But maybe I'm wrong. (signed: Bitbucket devoted user)
Good point about combining Bitbucket and Github. The interesting thing is that Gitlab is build on open source software so it is easy to transition to your own host when you need custom functionality. But I'm open to suggestions how to formulate that.
