Due to decreased income from on-premises customers, running the free Gitorious.org was no longer sustainable. GitLab was solving the same problem that we were, but was solving it better.”<br>“This acquisition will accelerate the growth of GitLab. With more than 100,000 organizations using it, it is already the most used on-premise solution for Git repository management, and bringing Gitorious into the fold will significantly increase that footprint.” says Sytse Sijbrandij, GitLab CEO.<br>Starting today, Gitorious.org users can import their existing projects into GitLab.com by clicking the “Import projects from Gitorious.org” link when creating a new project. Gitorious.org will stay online until the end of May 2015 to give people time to migrate their repositories.

One thing that leaves a sour taste is that its the gitlab folks causing<br>
<a href="http://gitorious.org" target="_blank">gitorious.org</a> to shut down - it looks clearly like a move to consolidate<br>
a competitive resource.<br>
<br>
Does <a href="http://gitlab.com" target="_blank">gitlab.com</a> give us anything more than <a href="http://git.centos.org" target="_blank">git.centos.org</a> ? If not, we<br>
might as well go where the users are.<br>
