Thanks for visiting our direction page. This page belongs to the Editor Extensions group of the Create stage and is maintained by Dasha Adushkina (E-Mail).
This direction is constantly evolving and everyone can contribute:
Our strategic vision focuses on the seamless integration of the GitLab platform into developers' daily workflows, aiming to significantly increase their productivity and collaboration. By embedding GitLab Duo features, such as Code Suggestions and Duo Chat, directly within IDEs, we strive to transform how developers interact with their tools, reduce context switching, and bring AI-driven capabilities within easy reach.
Deep Integration with Coding Environments: We recognize the indispensable role of IDEs and Code Editors in a developer's toolkit. Our strategy includes developing extensions that support various programming languages, standards, and frameworks. This way, developers can stay in one consistent environment for their entire workflow.
Facilitating Collaborative Development: At the heart of our strategy is the enhancement of collaborative workflows. By optimizing how engineers interact with one another from initial discussion in issues to significant contributions via merge requests, we aim to make collaborative work more efficient and transparent.
Extending GitLab's Reach Beyond the Core Platform: Understanding that developers spend considerable time outside the GitLab platform, we are dedicated to extending GitLab's collaborative and development features closer to where the actual work happens. This approach is designed to not only improve productivity but also enrich the overall development experience.
Enhance the developer experience with AI with a focus on usability
Deepen GitLab integration within IDEs
Real-time SAST scanning: Partnering with the static analysis group, we'll work to extend the work they're targeting for SAST scanning to reach more users across IDEs.
We are exploring support for additional IDEs. If you would like to let us know what IDEs or Code Editors you want to see supported, please add a comment to this epic.
