That's all great and the article is very comprehensive! However, with a lot of experience in CI/CD using Gitlab's toolchain I feel like omitting Gitlab in this piece is quite ominous. Especially given that it's not only free but also supports free hosting, operations support etc.
You are right as Gitlab is a good alternative to GitHub, but please see my previous answer regarding Gitlab hosted CI: as good as it is, its hosted runners are limited to Linux so it's not an option for cross-platform OSS projects. Though, you can still use Gitlab hosting with Azure Pipeline, maybe I should mention it in the article? 😉
I admit I only focused on solutions for GitHub since most OSS projects are hosted there. When I will update the article regarding GitHub actions it will be a good time to put Gitlab in the comparison, thanks for the feedback.

I've read your comment before and agree with the limitations, just thought it still deserves a mention :D
