Impressive. I have to think that this is all competition fostered by Gitlab - all those features were present in Gitlab. Competition at work :)

#12I sent this to support, but the "Files changed" tab in Pull Requests now has an announcement "We've made some change to reviewing code"
The "Learn more" button on that banner is a broken link…
(It's a good thing this HN post later directed me to the blog post, as now I've learned from that.)

#13The review stuff is semi similar to what I requested GitLab do and I'm surprised it's taken so long for anyone to really do it. It's a great workflow. I'm still not convinced about keeping all of your project's management in the version control system (I mean I prefer issues in there but the rest seems...wrong to me for whatever biased reason I have).
Overall looks good! When does Enterprise get these features? :)

#14Wonder how services like Waffle will react to this

Re: Announcing new tools, forums, and features
#16Some nice improvements here. It appears, though, that Projects suffer from the same problem we've had with Issues: they are limited to one repo.
I know there are some tools to manage Issues across repos, but for the most part, the tools seem to assume you work on only one repo, or that milestones only affect a single repo.
I would love to see projects/milestones become more capable when dealing with cross-repo issues.

#17This is a rough summary of what all I read in the blog post:
1. projects. replaces trello, waffle.io, zenhub and many other similar services.
2. code reviews allow approval/request changes as sunny's screenshot shows
3. reviews can be made mandatory.
4. github platform integrations is getting a roadmap
5. a graphql api to query their database
6. enforce 2fa in organizations (much love for this one)
7. summarized timeline for your contibutions
Just a few days back, at the GitLab release, I'd noticed a lot of complains about gitlab releasing useful and impactful features and github being slow on releases. Moreover, now with a public roadmap (even if it is just for platforms), it is a great start.
I'm really liking this change in pace.
mods: Can we make this the canonical discussion for this topic? Otherwise, a lot of branching will happen

#18The improvements to code reviews are really exciting. Having comments submit all at once instead of one at a time is a great UX change, I've definitely gotten sidetracked mid-review because somebody started responding to my initial comments when I'm neck deep. Comment threading is super useful for discussion-heavy comments like code review, and an in-UI approve/request changes is great.

#19And still no HTTPS for github pages with custom domains...

#20Is this the death of Trello?
Lots of non-devs use Trello.
Trello also has lot of features this does not, but I can see GH users using Trello jumping to this, like me.
