Gitlab 14.1 Kickoff - Create:Source Code
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/create-stage/-/issues/12831

Hi everyone, my name, is sarah wilder and I'm the group manager for product for the create stage here at kit, lab I'll, be recording the kickoff video for the source code team for milestone 14.1.

A

This milestone, the source code team is focused on two main features, along with numerous performance, security and infrastructure, enhancements I'll touch on and highlight the two features in this video.

A

So, first up we will be progressing the development of gitlab ssh, which is a simple built-in ssh server, originally introduced by a community contributor which we will be replacing the use of openssh in our product. This is to address a number of challenges users face when using openssh.

A

Specific example is that openssh does not pass restrictions for ip addresses all the way to the application. The same ip restrictions which are correctly applied when accessing the application, via the ui or via the api, are not the same when using ssh.

A

A specific example of this is an owner who should be able to override certain permissions are not able to access projects via ssh, which they can via the api or the ui second feature, which we recently launched in 14.0, which was the renaming of git's default initial branch from master to main, in line with an important transition. We're seeing across the software development industry to use inclusive terminology within software development. Gitlab is really excited to be part of this and to represent this within our product.

A

We have a few more items to address in support of this change and we'll handle those in 14.1 thanks. So much for your.
