The point about CI is super strong; GitHub Actions almost made me quit being a programmer and I've been doing things professionally ever since Winter 2001.

I don't think much of Drew DeVault -- whether I agree with him or not is not at all relevant to any decision of using his products IMO -- but I'll vote with all three hands for a better and more seamless CI!

I was not aware of that aspect of SourceHut so now I'll seriously consider it.

What's so bad about GitHub actions? Asking as someone who never used it (gitlab fulfills my needs).

Imagine a programming language with the YAML syntax. You get modern CI/CD.

Though, Gitlab CI is less powerful than Github Actions. With Gitlab CI, you can only have one pipeline per repository, and you have to play with conditional includes based on some CI variable to implement multiple pipelines.

While with Github Actions, you can simply have multiple workflows, listening to different kind of events (webhook, issues/pull requests events, ...)
