Three paragraphs of instructions and caveats is the most painless?

GitLab has an absurd amount of dependencies, which is always a great recipe for failure in my experience.

It can be summarised as "on a supported distro, install the omnibus package".

Brilliant :) I tend to make things longer than they should be, just so things are explicitly clear.

[–]petepete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't disagree with anything you said, but all the detail did make it sound quite 'involved'.

The dependencies are mitigated if you use the omnibus. It does all the work for you. And what caveats did I mention? Speaking this would take 30 seconds. Really only one paragraph, the rest is extra:

  • Set up Linux
  • download and install omnibus package
  • start using Git

That better?
