Re: Migrating to GitLab
Hi,
I think it is a very good idea to migrate the code to GirLab.
After >2 years of using this project I can only say the positive
about it.
Simple setup of CI/CD, automatic check of merge requests and
approve-technique can really improve the code quality and stability.
Regards
Anton
