Came here to post it, but too late! Good job @fweespee_ch! The importance of this announcement is that DigitalOcean is all over Fortune 500, and GitLab partnership means that Git is not only mainstream - it's THE stream.

> DigitalOcean is all over Fortune 500

Do you have any reference for that? I was under the impression that DigitalOcean was mostly used by developers and startups. I was also under the impression that Git became the mainstream VCS a while ago...

What do you mean by "reference"? I was talking about corporate environment of dozens or so F500 where I participated in various projects personally, and saw myriads of archaic in-house development tools that would embarrass even prehistoric. DO was used in a couple of cases, not too widespread, but I had a feel it's one of the places it could really make a difference. And introducing Git to that would just make the whole deal so much better. Consider that an average Global 2000 enterprise has over 10,000 in-house apps, and a lot of them are being developed in a dedicated environment.

I have not yet worked for a fortune 2000 enterprise that would allow a VPS to be used that did not offer actual private networking. Which ones have you seen that used DO?

Sorry, I was checking my email at lunch and figured why not. :)

GitLab & Gogs are my two favorite Git collaboration platforms.
