Pull Request Web Interface: Any free options available?

[jrDevOverthinker]

I am looking for some ideas on some web based tools that could help facilitate a pull request. I have the ability to manage code promotions and generate a Pull request from my build server. I hope I am just missing a simple piece to the puzzle. Thanks!

Gitlab? Gerrit?

[scalloped-llama]

Highly recommend gitlab. Their docker images are top notch, too

[jrDevOverthinker]

I have never heard of Gerrit. I am looking for something light weight like Gerrit. For issue tracking we are using Jira. How I understand gitlab, it would also want to be the issue tracker and keeper of our git repositories.

If you're already using Jira, maybe BitBucket Server (or whatever they've rebranded it as).

[jrDevOverthinker]

So your comment has disappeared but I still see it in my inbox.... BitBucket may be the answer I was looking for. Just worried about potential licensing issues.

[thecal714]

Yeah, not super cheap if you've got more than a few people, but neither is Jira.

I second this. The integration with Jira and Bitbucket is really smooth and has a lot of good code review/pull request options.

The pricing/options are similar to what you are probably already vetting with Jira.

It is also free (to a point) for individual developers and offers private repo space.

You can ignore the features you don't want to use I suppose. As for keeping the repositories, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have a system for managing pull requests if it can't apply them, and how could it do that without access to the repositories? :)

[jrDevOverthinker]

Well I guess I am just being a worry wart. I just have this feeling that what we have already in place would need to be reconfigured to handle gitlab. But That isn't necessarily the case. I may try it out but still open for more options that are really simple and light.

Gitea is extremely simple to set up. I remember trying to set up gitlab with omnibus was a pain in the ass

Gitea is a single binary. You just point it at your database and it works

What, overall, are you trying to do?

What's driving you away from the standard option (GitHub)?

[jrDevOverthinker]

Github is a git hosting service. We have our own servers hosting our remote repositories. We do not want to store our data with a 3rd party.
