Use fast-forward merges when possible

GitHub (annoyingly) can't do fast-forward merges from non-squashed PRs either.

Display merge request status for builds on Jenkins CI

GitLab implements basically the same API as GitHub for updating build status of commits from external services, or do I misunderstand what feature you mean?

But in general I agree, there are some options GitLab reserved for EE that really feel like they should be part of the CE as well.



Yeah, I just chose some random features that I may have interpreted incorrectly. There are others; people can read the features page for themselves.

And FWIW, I admire GitLab for their open source work. I just think it's worth distinguishing that it's not entirely open source.


Thanks for the admiration. If there are features that people think that should belong in the open source edition we're all ears. We've done so before https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10931347 A feature comparison between CE and EE can be found on about.gitlab.com/features/#compare


Since I'm not sure were else to report this:

When googling for the fast-forward feature one of the top results was this GitHub thread, which had quite a bit of activity fairly recently: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/2324

It seems like many posting there are not aware that this repository/bug tracker is not an official channel anymore -> maybe posting an automated comment in all issues with recent activity or locking them could help avoid confusion? If you arrive via search, you don't see the notice in the main repository description.
