GitHub Announces Codespaces, GitHub Discussions, Code Scanning, And More

● +

By Mashable News Staff 6 months, 2 weeks Satellite 2020, GitHub’s first virtual conference, was recently held earlier this week, and brings tools for communities to come together to solve the problems that matter to them and remove barriers that stand in their way. This week, GitHub launched four new products to help all software communities work together including GitHub Codespaces, GitHub discussions, Code scanning and secret scanning, and GitHub Private Instances. “Thousands of communities live on GitHub and today’s announcements reaffirm our commitment to foster them, help remove barriers, and connect new communities. By introducing GitHub Codespaces, GitHub Discussions and GitHub Advanced Security features, we are making the entire software development supply chain more collaborative and secure, and bringing the development environment to wherever developers want to work,“ said Maneesh Sharma, General Manager, GitHub India. Let's have a look at each of these features in detail.

GitHub Codespaces

GitHub Codespaces gives developers a fully featured cloud-hosted dev environment that spins up in seconds, directly within GitHub, so they can start contributing to a project right away. Codespaces can be configured by developers to load their code and dependencies, developer tools, extensions, and dotfiles. Switching between environments is simple—they can navigate away at any time, and when they switch back, their codespace is automatically reopened. Codespaces in GitHub include a browser-based version of the full VS Code editor, with support for code completion and navigation, extensions, terminal access, and more. If they prefer to use their desktop IDE, developers will be able to start a codespace in GitHub and connect to it from your desktop. Pricing for Codespaces has not been finalized, but code-editing functionality in the codespaces IDE will always be free.

GitHub Discussions

GitHub only offered issues and pull requests as places to have these conversations. But issues and pull requests both have a linear format—well suited for merging code, but not for creating a community knowledge base. Conversations need their own place—that’s what GitHub Discussions is for. Discussions live in the project repository, so they’re accessible where the community is already working together. Their threaded format makes it easy to start, respond to, and organize unstructured conversations. Questions can be marked as answered, so over time a community’s knowledge base grows naturally. And because discussions aren’t closed the way issues are, they can easily serve as a place for maintaining FAQs and other collaborative documentation. GitHub recognizes that community discussion is as much a part of development as coding, so discussion contributions appear in users’ contribution graphs. GitHub is in beta with a few open source communities and will be making Discussions available to other projects soon.

Code Scanning And Secret Scanning

Code scanning is now available as a GitHub native experience. With code scanning enabled, every `git push` is scanned for new potential security vulnerabilities, and results are displayed directly in the pull request. Code scanning uses the world’s most advanced semantic analysis engine, CodeQL, which has an unmatched record finding real vulnerabilities. GitHub is making code scanning free for open source to help keep the world’s most important software secure. Any public project can sign up. Secret scanning is now available for private repositories. This feature (formerly named token scanning) has been available for public repositories since 2018. GitHub has worked with many partners to expand coverage, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, npm, Stripe, and Twilio. With over ten million potential secrets identified, customers have asked to have the same capability for their private code. Now secret scanning also watches private repositories for known secret formats and immediately notifies developers when they are found. Code scanning and secret scanning are available for free for all public repositories, and available as part of GitHub Advanced Security.

GitHub Private Instances

Enterprises rely on communities on GitHub to build and use software, and the company wants every enterprise to do so with confidence, no matter how strict their requirements are for security and compliance. GitHub introduced their plans for GitHub Private Instances, a new, fully-managed option for our enterprise customers. Private Instances provides enhanced security, compliance, and policy features including bring-your-own-key encryption, backup archiving, and compliance with regional data sovereignty requirements. The feature is expected to arrive soon.
