I hope I'm not barging in or ruffling any feathers by using this channel inappropriately, but I just wanted to be able to quickly get in touch with the core Gitlab team to say just how much I fucking love Gitlab. I use it every single day, and it makes my workflow so buttery smooth. It's one of the best, most delightful pieces of software I've ever used in the past 20 years as a power user, sysadmin and software engineer. I have yet to hit a single bug in it; it just works, and it lets me power through my day-to-day tasks like a boss. If I didn't know any better, I would think it was a piece of software with millions of dollars pumped into it with some of the best minds working on it (well, the latter may still be true :)). So, thank you, thank you so much, Gitlab team, you're awesome!
i wanted to start playing with my own gitlab instance (fork) and wanted to setup my own runner. I have a linux VM setup on AWS and am ready to install gitrunner, but i wasn't sure what type of executor to use to build gitlab. I see one of the tags in the CI is
docker, so should it use docker executor? i also see gitlab-org tag, what type of executor does that use? is there some documentation on setting this up?
when clicking the "create merge request" dropdown on an issue, just below the branch name field there is a message stating either;
"Branch name is available" or "Checking branch name availability" or "branch is already taken"
"Branch name is available" or "Checking branch name availability" or "branch is already taken"
in app/assets/javascripts/create_merge_request_dropdown.js i can see this.branchMessage = this.wrapperEl.querySelector('.js-branch-message'); which matches the selector attached to the form element
but I can't see branchMessage being set anywhere as I would expect. any idea what i'm missing?
Thanks @CliqLabs :smile: :fireworks:
@grahamperrin thanks for your feedback and hopefully you were able to file your issue. I think you make a good point about "filing issues" not being obvious. Maybe I can add another point under the "Getting Help" section in the Contribute page. Sorry you had to struggle to find the right place late at night....
@rpaik_gitlab thanks, I added to an existing issue after finding a closed duplicate. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/20166#note_249370084
Incidentally, when signing in using GitHub I opt to be remembered but it seems that I'm always forgotten. Known issue?
@oieesah_gitlab if the typo is on a job description, you can find the source code for all of them here: https://about.gitlab.com/job-families/ and follow the link to the repository to file an MR against

I have filed an issue that addresses the addition of a project template to gitlab (#35293), according to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/contributing The project would be ready to review now. Unfortunately, it has attracted only little attention. It seems that I cannot create a merge request myself, which could be discussed further.
where is your fork/branch with your changes?
Exactly that... fork the project then you can create a branch and commit your changes there... then raise a Merge :)
it asked for rating from 1 to 5 on my codebase understanding for one of my MRs
@leetickett_gitlab
I tried to complete steps 3-5 and 11 of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/contributing and spent over an hour trying to get my ruby installation right to run
bin/rake. I am not familiar with the gitlab development and ruby development in general, and quite frankly I am not too motivated to dive into it "only" to share a template.
So far I have completed the first two steps of the tutorial. Could someone from the community kindly take it from there?
The current state is available here: gitlab-org/gitlab!20984
unless i'm misreading the instructions
can you provide a link to your public repository with the template?
Yes, I thought as well that I had to create a repository within the project-templates group (indeed I do not have the required permissions to do so). The instructions are a bit ambiguous in this direction.
may have to let someone else pick this up- sorry I couldn't help
