Hi, my name is kyondra I'm, the product manager for the editor group, and they create stage at the DevOps lifecycle here at gillip, and I'm here to talk about upcoming 13.0 release is a major release for github, and so I want to talk to a day about what the editor group has coming in 13. Oh me sure the screen here, which was work so in 13 dot, oh I, feel like a little bit of a broken record. The editor groups been working on version, control, snippets and dark theme for the web.

A

Ide and I am super super excited both of those are on track to ship inside of 13, and so what's really exciting about getting kind of version, control snippets across and I'll start. There is that, as you can see in the epic we're kind of closing on all those things, the last the last two things that we're working on are the migration.

A

So we've got to run a background migration for all of the existing snippets inside a get lab to be converted from blob stored inside of the database to new git projects or git repositories for each snippet. So that's gonna be happening in the background. We'll start that sort of early in the miles don't forget live.com, so you might see this functionality pop up there sooner and then it'll it'll happen as part of the 13th out of itself, major leagues. So we've also got a couple.

A

Other things around you know feature flags and a couple of content validation pieces that we had in there prior to this release and then a major documentation update right to it to let everyone know how this is all working down. So when we look at this I think we're gonna get to close out some of the big stuff for version control for snippets and I. Think what's what's exciting about that is it's gonna.

A

Allow us to get into sort of the next level of things that we want to do, and so the next sort of major thing that we're talking about here is multiple files, and so we've already got a list of issues that we need to go tackle to take our new, get base snippets and then allow users to have multiple files inside of those snippets a lot of what we did in the reef actors.

A

To get to this point where to enable us to move very quickly on multiple files, so, hopefully we'll be seeing that the next couple releases following up this and then we've got a general set of UI enhancement. We want to do so visually things like exposing sort of get controls and dips and revisions to you and also forking and stars and sort of all these things that you can do with projects.

A

It'll help makes that bits more usable for sharing with other people as well as more usable for kind of organization and popularity, and so we're really excited for kind of what getting through this. You know the big slog of getting the version control stuff in place is gonna. Allow us to do with snippets, and so all of those things are coming over the next few milestones as we get closer, we've got a better plan.

A

All will specify out kind of which releases those where I'll kind of show this one off to this is is actually on get live comm. This is my first get snippet based on the new functionality and, as you can see it looks a lot like I should have to do today. The big difference is there's now a clone button.

A

This is live on, get live.com for all newly created snippets, but it's not in place for the background migration. Yet so that's something to be excited about the last one is the dark theme for the way that we've been talking about this a lot. We talked about kind of steps we laid to get sort of content areas in a dark theme and then 12:10.

A

We really pushed it and got almost all the way there to get this shipped, but we've got a few areas that we need to touch up to be able to release this in 13 and so, and 13 we'll be working on is finishing up some of the smaller areas that we weren't able to touch around markdown previews avatars drop down some mobile windows, some other things that are just not quite the way we want them to be able to put this darkroom in front of people and for it to be completely usable.

A

Some of these would break things and make it hard to use the interface and so we're holding off on this one until 13, but confidently I think we'll get this across the line in 13 and then you'll be able to get a complete dark experience inside of the web IDE and get web, and so we're really excited about that.

A

So that's what we've got coming up for the editor group in 13 I think huge features that we're going to release and so I'm really excited about that we'd love to get your feedback on these items or other items. I'll leave some links down below for category strategies and other pages that you can come and interact. But thanks for the time to watch this make sure you check out everyone else's kickoff videos and I'll see you for their keyboard.
