GitHub Satellite
This Wednesday there was an online conference called “GitHub Satellite.” https://githubsatellite.com
Of the several interesting new features stand out:
• Codespaces – «get the full Visual Studio Code experience without leaving GitHub». It was quite expected: Microsoft owns both GitHub and VSCode. Now I’m waiting for GitHub and Azure to merge somehow, so we can run projects without leaving GitHub - Actions is already there🍿.
You can sign up for early access for now. https://github.com/features/codespaces
• Discussions – for discussions that don’t fall into the “issues” and “pr” category, a kind of Stack Overflow for questions and answers at the project level.
• Code scanning alerts – code vulnerability scanner (kind of a result of the Semmle acquisition)
• Secret scanning is now available for private repositories.
