GitLab for Visual Studio, including code suggestions, available in Beta

GitLab is actively incorporating AI/ML into its DevSecOps platform, aiming to enhance developer productivity through initiatives like extending code suggestions to more IDEs. The latest development is the availability of the GitLab for Visual Studio extension in beta, which supports GitLab Duo code suggestions for both SaaS and self-managed GitLab environments. Users can download the extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace, set it up following the provided instructions, and begin receiving inline code suggestions. Future plans include integration with JetBrains IDEs and a native option for Neovim, along with the development of a GitLab Language Server to standardize and accelerate IDE extensions, enabling broader access to GitLab Duo code suggestions. The company is also exploring AI-assisted features across the software development lifecycle to alleviate time-consuming tasks, with ongoing updates and community collaboration anticipated as part of its AI/ML in DevSecOps blog series.
