Create:Source Code - Planning of 15.5

Please, feel welcome to share your thoughts regarding our plan by commenting on the planning issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/create-stage/-/issues/13039

Hi this is torsten. I would like to walk you through what we are planning in the source code group for 15.5 they're, basically, two main key themes. uh The first one is uh the mvp to view source code rules organized by branches.

A

I will say a little bit more about that in a minute and the other one is the ui performance improvements, mainly by fixing performance bugs and especially want to mention here the improvement of the browser total blocking time, reducing that when you're viewing the file tree and also improve the browser largest contentful paint when you are rendering files, I think what's also important to mention here and I'm very glad we're in this situation for the first time in a very long time, we start a new milestone without any info dev security and availability limit issues.

A

Also, we recently improved in such a way that we are no longer exceeding our error budget, so we also don't have to do work on that. Now, let's go back to the start.

A

I've previously explained that our source code settings our source code rules are currently in different places and they are hard to understand and it's hard to understand, because they're in different places, which things control, what right so you may be blocked to do a merge or something- and you don't understand why, because the rules are in different places, so we've understood that, and we also believe that these settings, because they all relate to branches, uh make most sense if we organize them by branches.

A

So this is how it will look like um you will have an overview of the branch rules for for each branch. You will have a little summary of what the rules are. uh So this is the main branch and, of course, there's also rules for all branches or for all protected branches, and then there are also branches that are wild cards and for these you also have this summary here.

A

So you can then view details and in the details you will then see all the rules that apply, for instance, in this case for the feature minus star wildcard branch, you will see. Okay, there are three matching branches.

A

You will see the different rules, so the protect is the branch protected and if so, how is it protected? Are you allowed to force push?

A

Who are the roles that and users that are allowed to push, and you will also see the approvals that are required and status checks, so all in one place for the mvp that we're going to release end of 15 5.

A

You will only be able to view these things when you want to edit those when you want to change those, you have to go to the current places which are linked here in the future. We plan to also make it editable right here. I'm really excited that we're moving forward with this- and I hope you are too this- is it for the planning for 15.5 have a good day.
