Hi SAn,
you really want to recommend using the service of a company which has
previously bought another company just to remove them from the
market (
gitorious.org) and then make all their users' content
unavailable for almost 1 year without prior warning two months later?
Yes, they just switched it off and referred people to
archive.org
who was also not prepared for it and it took 1 year until we had
a read-only mirror of the content previously hosted on
gitorious.org.
I've wittnessed that first hand as all my personal projects were hosted
on
gitorious.org -- on wikipedia gitlab is trying to make it look more
beautiful than it was, saying that they offered automated migration
to (paid)
gitlab.com (wasn't offered to me, I didn't have a
gitlab.com
account at the time and wasn't willing to paid nor accepted their
terms&conditions).
Just for the record, neither
github.com nor Microsoft actually ever did
any harm to any OpenSource project in such a blunt and malignant way.
Not even Oracle did.
If you just want to run away from
github.com (for good reasons), maybe
look here:

Hi!
As we would like to migrate from github to gitlab it is best for the
migration that every developer have an account at
gitlab.com and also that it is
linked with your github account. This way issues, pull requests and
commits are properly linked with your user.
To do that while logged to
gitlab.com go to
https://gitlab.com/profile/account and
then "connect with github".
Best!
SAn
