Request: Add Global catalog to the Explore navigation
Proposal
CI/CD Catalog go to Beta (&11674 - closed)
We are aiming to have a single view where a user can filter components that are available in the entire system.
- Previous navigation discussion for the namespace (private) catalog: Add Namespace catalog to the left navigation (#393623 - closed)
- Recent journey map exercise Explore user flows of creating/editing pipeline... (#420272 - closed)
Other locations that were considered
- From the pipeline editor (
Project > Build > Pipeline editor
) - From the file view (
.gitlab-ci.yml
)- From the onboarding screen when there is no CI configuration file available
Future iterations
- Surface the catalog in the IDE
- Provide a link from the repository based on the contents
