That is because we have expensive MacBooks and elaborated development setups. Having a web-based IDE is great for newcomers and will work on cheap Chromebooks or iPads. Especially as Gitlab the entire infrastructure for both development and deployment.
- dnsmichi 4y ago> Having a web-based IDE is great for newcomers and will work on cheap Chromebooks or iPads Good call, thanks. GitLab team member here. From my experience as GitLab trainer in my past job, a web frontend to edit files hides the complexity of Git on the CLI, and helps with the "5 min success" to get going and learning. This can help with team member onboarding, as well as OSS projects looking for contributors. Combined with CI/CD pipeline feedback in the same interface, without context switches, it makes the learning story easier to follow too. The first workshops to get started with GitLab CI/CD from 2 years ago, are linked in the documentation, and use the Web IDE. [0] Seen great learning curves from the wider community :-) Taking a note to create a new workshop with the new IDE in the future.
