The UI and UX to me (the author of this guide) is something that I can get used to. I leave it for the reader to decide which one they feel comfortable, I don't want to force anyone to use something they don't like. My whole purpose is to introduce what Gitlab has got and presenting them on Github.
I understand why people make fun of this. It is obviously ironic. But I am happy most of the comments replying to yours speak out my intent. I neither "accidentally" put it on Github, nor make use of Github unethically to promote Gitlab.

I am sorry you felt that way. But to be honest, I don't feel that this is bad. I myself don't tell people to abandon Github and move to Gitlab. I just write a small guide to instruct people and whom I targeted happens to use Github a lot, so I put it there. Just that. And if you look carefully, I am a heavy Github user and I didn't stop or fully migrated from Github to Gitlab. I did not criticize anything about Github in the guide, also.
Don't worry I totally understand your point. Maybe I am a little bit harsh, but I still won't rollback my decision of flagging this. I understand that he doesn't try to fool anyone, but his attention vs what everyone perceives may conflict. I have to admit that on a site like Hackernews, the first time I look at this link at its address, I almost thought that Google is now interested in ICO, had it not been for the 1 minute that I try to look back at the domain and then go to its faq page.
In terms of ethics, it is not good. Even if you don't try to sell anything, making visitors confused with your domain is not by any means recommended. Who will make sure that he won't and never try to sell anything from now on. I am not arguing on the content, though. Whether it is good or not depends on the reader's assessment. You can't forgive one's evil act just because that act looks cool (to you).
Sorry but I flag this due to your confusing domain. goolge? Seriously?.
Even more hilarious is your faq page:
"FAQ
Q: What’s up with the name?
A: The name is a most likely vain attempt to lure some poor souls from the British Indian Ocean Territory who mistype the name of a well-known search engine into a web of hopefully interesting blog posts."

About tree graph for too many branches, please take a look at an example, such as https://dev.gitplex.com/projects/tensorflow/commits. You can see on the left of the commits, there is a tree. I just want to know if we have a lot branches, how the UI handle that :)
This is nice. I really love this.
However, it is lacking demo for pull requests and I wonder what happen to the tree graph if there are too many branches.
Hi, OP and also a long time Linux advocate here. I own a list called Awesome Linux Software and I was constantly searching for great software. That's how I jumped into your app and decided to post it here on HN.
