I understand the need for launching with GitHub integration only, really. It's probably 2020 table stakes for launching a hosting platform, ticking the "up and running in 5 minutes" requirement checkbox. (See also: Digital Ocean's recently launched App Platform, same situation.)
But many of us walked away from GitHub and embraced GitLab in the last few years, probably a big wave in 2018. As far as I can tell, there's not a publicly documented non-GitHub way to interact with Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare folks: if you can't launch with a full GitLab integration that's understandable, but I'm tired of sitting these things out because they can only launch in simple mode. For my part, I'd rather fuss around with .gitlab-ci.yml now than start a project on my old GitHub account and deal with unknown migration pains later.
It's disappointing that Github doesn't have repository mirroring, like many competitors do. I suppose that would encourage people to leave their walled garden but still take advantage of their features.
