Gitlab now requires phone number/credit card verification
Gitlab now requires phone number/credit card verification
Looks like gitlab now requires account verification for new accounts in addition to email. Either phone number or credit card.
This applies both to accounts created with a working email or by logging in using your github account. You can't even verify your email until you go through step 1.
I don't know when this started, but at least for the last month or two judging from these posts in the forums.

Fun fact: I don't even want to host on gitlab, I just wanted to report bugs in some projects. So I'm locked out.

Time to start using GitDirectory named V.01 shared over FTP.
It's a joke, don't use FTP, it's not secure.
Why isn't FTP secure
because it hasn't got an S in it
It's unencrypted, your ISP / Starbucks wifi can read all the files you send. Use SFTP instead.
or FTPS
What's the difference?
Thanks for the links, interesting reads. From what I gather, SFTP is the more modern and less complicated way of doing it...
Yes, SFTP > FTP-S.
Yeah, I think you need to go out of your way to try to use ftps. When people say ftp they generally mean SFTP.
Especially when it comes to gateway configuration.
Not just read but modify even.
Is there any reference for this? I can't find anything relevant. Just curious.
Of FTP not being secure? Check the links in the comments below
FTP it's not encrypted
No. I mean gitdirectory over FTP.
There's no GitDirectory, it's the way we used to share files back then, a shared directory over FTP
I'm aware of FTP. It's still around in certain circles. But for a moment I thought that there was some sort of integration between ftp and git. I guess not.
