Discuss - enable the pipeline editor for .gitlab-ci.yml by default
This issue was opened in light of the discussion in slack where @kencjohnston had asked
Why do we display the “Edit” (takes you to modified single-file editor) - link when viewing the .gitlab-ci.yaml file in the repository view? There isn’t anything that view does that isn’t better in the Pipeline Editor. I think we should remove it.
Why should we make the pipeline editor the default experience?
- Editor is your one-stop-shop for CI, it has a rich feature set that improves the user experience
- It is planned to be the default editor (eventually) - so maybe now is the time to do so?
- Majority of our users use it already (85% use the editor 10% the single file editor 5% web-ide)
Why should we not make it the default experience
- It is still missing the preview changes feature
@gitlab-com/pipeline-authoring-group I would love to hear your opinion
