teachers pet with Gitlabs?

[umasshokie]

My institution wants to use GitLab instead of GitHub so that we can manage our own repository servers. Personally, I'm happy with GitHub, but oh well. So -- is there a way to use teacher's pet with Gitlab instead of with GitHub? I presume everything is identical except that it would have to connect to a different server. Is that easy to modify? Or is it recommended or not recommended for some reason?

Thanks!

Probably not - this uses GitHub APIs for repository creation / team management / ACL, etc.

I originally coded this against GitHub enterprise that was self hosted at my university.

My understanding is that GitLab uses the same APIs, but has just extended them for added features. But I could be wrong -- the website isn't particularly clear about it. The way it was described to me is that it is the same as GitHub except we can host it ourselves for free using the open source version (GitHub charges more than we can afford). Does anyone know if any of this is true?
