Development will be moved to GitLab

Dear OGS developer and user,

we like to inform you that we will move the development repository for OGS-6 (https://github.com/ufz/ogs) to our own GitLab instance (https://gitlab.opengeosys.org/ogs/ogs, link is not available yet).

GitHub has served us well in the past years but we would like to employ the more powerful feature set of GitLab. With the move hope to improve our development workflows in the following areas:

  • general project management
  • continuous integration (testing)
  • general developer experience (by consolidating different technologies into one platform)
  • ability to tackle larger future use cases by leveraging efficient storage and processing on one integrated platform

We plan to migrate in the week 22th to 26th of June. Repository migration should be done in a day but further refinements of development processes may need some more additional days. We will keep you up-to-date in this thread and will post an announcement when the repository migration is finished. We will also provide step-by-step instructions on how to migrate local developer repositories to use the new GitLab repository.

More details can be found here: https://github.com/ufz/ogs/issues/2947

Please also let us know if you have any questions or objections.

The OGS developer team
