Visual assets code repository

Description

  • A new project-level repo to manage visual assets, such as images in various formats, and video.
  • This would be at the same level as issues and merge requests.
  • It could be called Visual Assets. And it would be implemented as a repository so that you have versioning on the assets.
  • It would be highly integrated with issues, as specified in
  • In particular the use cases is that during product development, you want to have items such as mockups integrated with discussions in issues. This elevates visual assets to a first-class citizen in the product development stages of planning. Note that this is different from actual code assets that are pushed to production in a project. Those assets should live in the existing code repo, as usual.
  • Note that at the project level, there is the regular code repository, called Repository. This contains the git versioned code that is pushed into production.
  • There is a Wiki, that is also version controlled in the background.
  • With this issue, we are creating another repo for managing visual assets.

UX and Technical Design

  • We need UX designs to figure out how to manage these visual assets.
  • How the visual assets integrate with issues are specified in
  • We need technical designs and considerations on how to implement the repo and how it would impact storage for projects.
  • There are ~Platform implications in terms of that storage.
