CodebaseHQ vs GitLab: What are the differences?
Developers describe CodebaseHQ as "Git, Mercurial & Subversion hosting with project management". It is the ultimate code hosting platform for professional development teams. Includes source tree browser, in-line comments, notes, and a powerful ticketing system. On the other hand, GitLab is detailed as "Open source self-hosted Git management software". GitLab offers git repository management, code reviews, issue tracking, activity feeds and wikis. Enterprises install GitLab on-premise and connect it with LDAP and Active Directory servers for secure authentication and authorization. A single GitLab server can handle more than 25,000 users but it is also possible to create a high availability setup with multiple active servers.
CodebaseHQ and GitLab can be primarily classified as "Code Collaboration & Version Control" tools.
Some of the features offered by CodebaseHQ are:
- Code Hosting
- Project Management Tools
- Ticket Tracking System
On the other hand, GitLab provides the following key features:
- Manage git repositories with fine grained access controls that keep your code secure
- Perform code reviews and enhance collaboration with merge requests
- Each project can also have an issue tracker and a wiki
