GitHub and GitLab have different approaches to CI, with pros and cons on
both sides. Obviously, it is easier to get stuff tested on Windows with GitHub,
for example.

You can use both, with automatic mirroring of the commits. For some of
my own projects, I have dual push targets in git (triple, actually, SourceForge),
and then I get two sets of (different) CI tests on a push. For example,
GitLab will test a number of Linux targets like Ubuntu, etc, while
GitHub will test macOS and someday Windows.

I am not aware of a good way to sync issues, though, only commits.
Anybody knows differently?
