GitLab's 2019 product vision for DevOps Create

GitLab is enhancing its platform to streamline the DevOps lifecycle, emphasizing collaboration, code review, and user-friendliness. The platform's Create stage focuses on managing source code through features like Git repositories, merge requests, and a Web IDE, which facilitates easier contributions and faster merge request handling. GitLab has introduced improvements such as squash and merge options, file locking integrated with Git LFS, and future enhancements like suggested approvers based on code ownership. The platform aims to simplify collaboration between private organizations and open source projects by improving forking workflows and enabling distributed merge requests, which allow patches to be published from private instances to public repositories. Enhancements to code review processes include line-by-line code quality feedback and the ability to propose changes directly in merge request comments, streamlining the review and approval process. The Web IDE is being developed to offer a robust cloud development environment, featuring both client and server-side evaluation, allowing for real-time testing and customization to align with personal IDE preferences. GitLab encourages community involvement and feedback to continue evolving as a leading tool for building and deploying applications.
