I'm assuming you mean GitLab. I'm using both. The DT spec and dtschema
test/pkging are using workflows. Schema validation runs with the
kernel tree are on GitLab (which actually run in docker on my
machines).
GH workflows have recipes (written by random folks) to do various
things like python version matrix testing or upload to pypi whereas
GitLab is more 'here's a container'. dtc could go either way I think.
