Azure Repos vs GitLab: What are the differences?

Integration with Azure Services: Azure Repos seamlessly integrates with other Azure services, allowing for a more cohesive development experience within the Azure ecosystem. GitLab lacks this level of integration, which can be a drawback for teams heavily reliant on Azure services.
Pricing: Azure Repos is part of Azure DevOps, which offers a range of pricing options including a free tier for small teams. GitLab, on the other hand, has more straightforward pricing with different tiers based on features and support, making it a more cost-effective choice for some organizations.
Access Control: Azure Repos provides fine-grained access control with Azure Active Directory integration, ensuring secure collaboration within teams. GitLab offers similar access control features, but the integration with Azure AD may not be as seamless as in Azure Repos.
Scalability: Azure Repos can easily scale with the rest of the Azure DevOps services, making it suitable for enterprise-level projects that require scalability and performance. GitLab can also scale to a certain extent, but it may not offer the same level of scalability as Azure Repos for larger projects.
Built-in CI/CD: Azure Repos comes with built-in CI/CD pipelines through Azure Pipelines, offering a streamlined process for building, testing, and deploying applications. GitLab also provides CI/CD capabilities, but Azure Repos users can benefit from the tight integration with Azure Pipelines for more efficient workflows.
Community and Support: GitLab has a vibrant open-source community backing it up, providing extensive documentation, plugins, and community support. While Azure Repos has support from Microsoft and the Azure DevOps community, the level of community support may not be as robust as that of GitLab.

In Summary, Azure Repos offers better integration with Azure services, access control with Azure AD, and built-in CI/CD pipelines, while GitLab excels in pricing transparency, community support, and scalability for certain projects.

Advice on GitLab, Azure Repos

Decided

Gitlab as A LOT of features that GitHub and Azure DevOps are missing. Even if both GH and Azure are backed by Microsoft, GitLab being open source has a faster upgrade rate and the hosted by gitlab.com solution seems more appealing than anything else! Quick win: the UI is way better and the Pipeline is way easier to setup on GitLab!

Review

Using an inclusive language is crucial for fostering a diverse culture. Git has changed the naming conventions to be more language-inclusive, and so you should change. Our development tools, like GitHub and GitLab, already supports the change.

SourceLevel deals very nicely with repositories that changed the master branch to a more appropriate word. Besides, you can use the grep linter the look for exclusive terms contained in the source code.

As the inclusive language gap may happen in other aspects of our lives, have you already thought about them?

Review

Do you review your Pull/Merge Request before assigning Reviewers?

If you work in a team opening a Pull Request (or Merge Request) looks appropriate. However, have you ever thought about opening a Pull/Merge Request when working by yourself? Here's a checklist of things you can review in your own:

Pick the correct target branch
Make Drafts explicit
Name things properly
Ask help for tools
Remove the noise
Fetch necessary data
Understand Mergeability
Pass the message
Add screenshots
Be found in the future
Comment inline in your changes

Read the blog post for more detailed explanation for each item :D

What else do you review before asking for code review?
