I used to think gitlab was the bees knees, but more recently there's just a lack of user awareness. They've had a open issue for years about failing a job due to not finding artifacts. The logs even say "ERROR"
I've concluded they're now a marketing organization.
It's normal to Google "how to do x in gitlab" and then there is a ticker in their issue tracker to add x from 2018. GL employees all agrees that it would be great. Thrn there are 374747 label changes and no resolution until today.
While this is not a completely wrong observation, it's worse for Atlassian BitBucket. With github I have no experience.
This is common for huge open source projects. However, when you send a patch to Gitlab, they will assign someone to guide you through the process, and the patch will be merged eventually unless you bail out or they outright reject it.
