Beautifying our UI: Giving Gitlab build features a fresh look

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • gitlab

  • all I want, is the number of contributions in the last year, like GitHub has:

    https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/22578

    its just one number, I just wish they could add this one little thing so I could move away from GitHub once and for all. even CodeBerg has it:

  • Wow, thanks a lot for sharing. GitLab team member here.

    Would it be ok for you if I add that command snippet into a blog post I am currently writing about Observability for Efficient DevSecOps Pipelines? Draft MR is in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/issues/34296 Thanks!

    Regarding pipeline visibility and traces: I would love to see the same :-) I tested tracepusher with OpenTelemetry this week, and the timeline for CI/CD traces is a great start in Jaeger. Added a suggestion into https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5071#note_14582... where CI/CD Visibility is being worked on, with an update on GitLab support for traces in https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5071#note_14584...

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Gitea

    Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD

  • Is anyone using Gitea or Forgejo? (the latter is a fork, I believe) They both seem like interesting/lightweight alternatives to GitHub/Gitlab.

  • gitlab-foss

  • Thanks. This was also requested for the UI 7 years ago

    https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/12776

    and then closed with the claim that this was implemented, when in fact, it was not.

  • GeeVee

    A Gitlab Project and Variable Viewer

  • Thanks for the interest - I created some groups and uploaded a demo to the repository (https://github.com/gkinsman/GeeVee/blob/main/README.md).

    Unfortunately environment scopes are only available on premium so I can't demonstrate that, but it solves one of the major issues with the existing UI in that it doesn't give you an environment-centric variable view.

    Also, it looks like it's only possible to view inherited variables when viewing the vars for a project. Group's don't show the inherited variables for their parents.

  • cli

  • That looks awesome. You could try https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cli, not near as good, but allow you to avoid the web UI for most things.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
