    Chose GitLab
    We have chosen GitLab for simplicity, at the initial phases it does provide all the things we need but as the project is getting to the next stage we have trouble with pipelining and DevOps. So we moved to Azure DevOps later but overall GitLab is great for beginners it provides …
