Lots of layoffs ("re-evaluating our operational footprint") and switching to "agentic" processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

Those are all part of the forge, not git.

  • A git migration is easy.
  • Forge migration usually requires some form of migration tool to get all the forge specific stuff (like issues, PR's and todos).

The 2 are very different things.

And what kind of service is gitlab, which we are discussing here, or github which was brought up in the comment, or codeberg?

They are forges.

I think the comment of migrating git, was more for smaller and maybe private projects. Not large collaborations. So only the git part, not the forge part.
