Hi everyone and welcome to this week's dumpster incubation engineering update if you haven't seen it yet. I really recommend checking out my last week's video, where I talk about my vision for jam, sac gitlab for this year and onwards in this video I'll, give you a quick update again on what I have been working on this week. It's gonna be quick and short, but it contains some great brokers.

I've worked on the pipeline wizard again. That did have a little inconvenience. The last time we saw it see since you're able to step through the setup the yaml file. On the right hand, side is being built up as you progress through the steps.

This was all nice and easy if the wizards template always specified a new root note on each step. For example, step 1 specifies image, step 2 before script and step 3 the entire pages tree, but I wanted this to be more flexible, like you should be able to specify one part of the pages tree in step.

A

One and another part in step two before my last development redefining a root note, would just replace the original one now this weekend, some time before that I've spent my time on writing a deep, merge functionality that can be incorporated into the yaml package by a merge request. I opened this functionality has three major effects, as I mentioned before, it allows editing branches of the same node on different step pages of the visit, and it massively improves the support for comments. Now you can place comments everywhere.

A

You want in the template and they'll get moved over into the gitlab c iphone and three. It also prepares the wizard for editing a project's existing gitlab cr yaml file, without just replacing it, although I did say prepared, that's something that won't be part of the initial. Mr.

Speaking of dmr, I've started breaking down the initial 3000 lines and mr into three separate. Mrs one is a small change to the yama editor extension. The second is now just the pipeline wizard and the third is the actual first usage of the wizard as a pages onboarding interface with a feature flag to toggle it.

A

The wizard itself still is big and mr so I'll need all the help I can get for getting it reviewed. If you want to land a hand, just go to the mr link below and start commenting anyway. This was a huge chunk of work that I've finally gotten done, even though this video was short and crisp. I hope to see you again next week until then enjoy your day.
