Description

GitLab Kickoff 14.2 - Create:Source Code
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/create-stage/-/issues/12862

A

Hi, my name is sarah welder and I'm the group manager for the create stage here at gitlab. Currently, the interim pm for the source code, management, team and I'll be doing the 14.2 kickoff for the source code management team. So in 14.2 the source code team is going to be focused on three things.

A

First, we're going to be continuing the refactor of the blob, binary large object file viewer into a view app previously, or I guess today. The current setup is that the folder navigation infrastructure is in a view app, while viewing the contents of that file is enamel.

A

This means that every time we're loading the entire page as we passed from one context to the other, once the refactor is complete, we'll be able to load and render the file content from, within the same view, app used for repository navigation making for a much more streamlined user flow.

A

The other benefits we get from this is it allows us to build more interactive features down the road, and it also allows us to start pre-fetching the blog content ahead of time to optimize the content loading times, making it faster for the user. Overall.

A

Second, we're going to be wrapping up work required to prepare gitlab ssh for beta testing, one of the okrs for the source code team in q3 is testing gitlab ssh, a simple built-in ssh server on gitlab.com.

A

I've highlighted this in previous videos but as a recap, we're building this to replace our use of open ssh in our product to address some of the security concerns that service pro that service poses, namely the current implementation of openssh used in gitlab, does not pass through all defined ip restrictions all the way to the application.

A

This means that there's a divergence and acknowledged restrictions when using ssh versus when you use the api or when you use the ui and finally, as part of 14.2, we're going to continue to burn down known security and performance, bugs that the source code product has improving the overall security and performance posture of gitlab as a whole. Thank you for watching.
