Comments about Jenkins as an Alternative to GitLab
Jenkins is a great CI/CD System has nothing to do with Version Control
Despite its name, GitLab is not only version control, is a suite of cloud based solutions around source code.
That being said, Jenkins is an alternative only for GitLab CI.
This alternative is disputed. Jenkins is a legitimate GitLab alternative, but it might have issues that some users think are important.
- Jenkins is Free and Open Source



























































Jenkins is a build server, Gitlab is version control. Two different things.
