GitLab, rival of GitHub, acquires Gitorious
GitLab has acquired Gitorious, a repository management system which would leverage GitLab to compete against other commerical and propriety repository management system. The acquisition has knocked the strong hold of GitHub which is the most popular among the collaborative code repositories.
The acquisition not only leveraged the GitLab resourced but also added the huge user base. Now, GitLab has close to one million users. Those users include open source projects such as Opensuse and AT&T and Expedia, etc.
The exact figures for which the deal was done is yet to be known. So the existing Gitorious will shut down by June and its customers can migrate to GitLab. As well the staff currently working on Gitorious won't be joining GitLab, although GitLab expects to collaborate with them.
