[gmx-developers] Transition to Gitlab

[Berk Hess]

That's important information.

Is there some place which discusses the pros and cons of both workflows?

Cheers,

Berk

So I think that's an important decision. And note that you really need to change to the different best practices for a pull-request workflow. Github/gitlab don't work well if you rebase changes which is required for gerrit.

So if we want to stick with the gerrit forkflow we can do so while moving to a hosted solution. But gerritforge only works with github and not gitlab. So it wouldn't make sense to move the issues to gitlab if we wanted to use gerritforge.
