Native code intelligence is coming to GitLab

GitLab's integration with Sourcegraph, set to be released with GitLab's 12.5 update on November 22, 2019, aims to enhance developer productivity by embedding advanced code navigation and cross-referencing capabilities directly into the GitLab platform. This collaboration eliminates the need for the Sourcegraph browser extension by integrating its features, such as 'go-to-definition' and 'find references', into GitLab's code views, file views, merge requests, and code diffs. The integration allows developers to efficiently navigate and gather more information about the code without losing context, thus improving code review quality and efficiency. Initially, the rollout will be tested within GitLab's own gitlab-org group, with plans to extend the functionality to all public projects on GitLab.com, while private projects will still require a configured private Sourcegraph instance. The collaboration highlights GitLab's commitment to transparency and iterative development, encouraging community feedback and participation.
