Choice between GitHub Gist or GitLab Snippet?

[chris-c-thomas]

I realize this is me being very particular but just curious how hard this would be? I'm itching to move everything over from GitHub to GitLab for myself and if I could maintain all my Gists over there that'd be great too.

I'm also intrigued by this idea: #413 in regards to backing up to a repo instead of a Gist. In that case, could we select between GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, etc ?

I'd like this. GitLab is superior with all their features, usability, unlimited private repos, 10gb free, etc etc.

Please, if it is possible, don't forget to allow private corporate gitlab as well.

GitLab Snippets are not versioned. I would rather sync with a GitLab repository instead. I think it would be better if setting-sync would gain the ability to sync with an arbitrary Git repository instead of creating more vendor-specific implementations for syncing.

it's better to sync with the repository.

1. Github Gist
2. Repository [ Mainly support, Github and GitLab ]

See the feature here available for bounty. #EarnAndFix

#413

Snippets also don’t support more than one file, so using GitLab snippets would require some really weird compromises.

Also, the "private gist" sharing via a link is not available on GitLab.

Am I the only one who just wants to do this via local files that I can sync/copy/upload/download/check-in/check-out however I please?

[shanalikhan]

@simonwiles Import / Export to Local Files is also on backlog - #256.

Settings Sync will become one solution for all ( with time :) )

[shanalikhan]

I'm closing this issue and marking it as duplicate to #413

Settings Sync will only contain three interfaces.

1. Github Gist
2. File Import / Export
   • You can improve/ setup it with your google drive or dropbox later on by putting locations or import / export on that folder.
3. Git Repo
   • Mainly support Github and Gitlab but anyone can use their own git platform.

GitLab Snippets are not versioned.

That is not true, snippets are versionned via git
