At the GitHub Satellite conference, which this time is held virtually online, several new services:
- - a complete built-in development environment that allows you to directly participate in the creation of code through GitHub. The environment is based on the open-source Visual Studio Code (VSCode) code editor that runs in the browser. In addition to directly writing code, features such as building, testing, debugging, deploying applications, automatically installing dependencies, and setting up SSH keys are provided. The environment is currently in a limited beta stage with access after filling out an application.
- - a discussion system that allows you to discuss various related topics in an interactive form, somewhat reminiscent of Issues, but in a separate section and with a tree-like control of answers.
- - ensures that every git push operation is scanned for potential vulnerabilities. The result is attached directly to the pull request. Verification is performed using the engine , which analyzes patterns with typical examples of vulnerable code.
- - now available for private repositories. The service evaluates leaks of sensitive data such as authentication tokens and access keys. During a commit, the scanner checks common key and token formats used by 20 cloud providers and services, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, npm, Stripe, and Twilio.
