The beginning of the spread of Codespaces?

This involves creating a development environment on the cloud provided by GitHub. Since it is created within GitHub, you can easily clone and push the Repository. Since this uses a cloud environment, it is a so-called pay-as-you-go system where fees are added depending on the time.

Universe has announced that personal accounts will be given 60 hours/month of free time. Although there are probably many users who are already using Codespaces, it is expected that the use of Codespaces by engineers will accelerate even more in the future. In order to secure such human resources, companies will need to create an environment in which they can use it.

It was also announced that the GPU will be selectable in machine settings. This can be used in situations where a high-spec machine is temporarily required for machine learning. The strength of Codespaces is that even people who want to try machine learning, but GPUs are expensive and don't have the motivation to buy one, can easily do so.

Compatible with Gantt chart

You will be able to create a Gantt chart from tasks registered with a function called Roadmap. This makes it much easier to check progress as the delivery date can be visually seen. In addition, by using the existing Projects function, I think it will be possible to manage tasks more efficiently.

The Projects function can be used not only by people who manage overall progress such as team leaders, but also by engineers in charge of development for daily task management. Of course, you can also use it in your personal repository, so if you are not good at managing daily tasks, please take advantage of it.

What is GitHub Next?

This is a team of GitHub engineers who research features and create prototypes. GitHub Copilot will also be released as an actual feature by this team. Among the current initiatives announced at Universe, I personally found them interesting: “AI for Pull Requests” and “GitHub Blocks.”

“AI for Pull Requests” allows you to call a bot on an issue, and it will check the issue title and content and suggest ways to fix it. If this becomes a reality, simple modifications can be completed without the need to open the code in an editor, allowing more man-hours to be spent on developing larger features.

“GitHub Blocks” is a more graphical way to create README files. It is also possible to display the traffic status of the repository in a graph. Also, it seems that a certain amount of template blocks are provided, so even those who are not good at designing and creating can use it.

Integrate CI tools into GitHub with Actions Importer

It converts Workflow files used by other CI tools into Workflow files for Actions. It is provided as an extension to the GitHub CLI and can be executed based on the command line. If you understand that Actions is convenient because automatic migration is possible, but are reluctant to migrate due to the hassle, why not take this opportunity to migrate to Actions?

Unique to GitHub! ? live coding

Just like last year, we did "live coding of music" as a show before Keynote. This involves parameterizing things like the tempo of a song and the type of instrument, and DJing while changing the values in real time. When I first saw it, I had no idea what it was doing... I was impressed by the fact that he was not an ordinary DJ.
