Marketing Strategy by GitLab
So yesterday Microsoft acquired GitHub, now people started moving their private repo from GitHub to either BitBucket or GitLab. GitLab company sensed this opportunity and they have started to analyze the trend. The trend was seen as #movingtogitlab in Twitter, thus GitLab was fast to acknowledge the fact and created a blog post - https://about.gitlab.com/2018/06/03/movingtogitlab/.
This was the trend seen in Twitter.
