Sber Tech: GitVerse

2024

Availability for SMBs

The GitVerse source code platform has received a massive update. Sberbank announced this on March 29, 2024.

Tools are available on the platform to speed up development, chat is implemented in GigaCode, and small and medium-sized businesses can now use GitVerse.

CI/CD tools will automate source code assembly and delivery processes. Developers can now use the already written build scripts, transferring their projects from Git repositories in one click. The technology of notification of new events on the server (webhooks) allows you to implement even more automation scenarios. On events in GitVerse, you can call third-party services through the API. For example, with certain events in the repository, you can start a third-party assembly pipeline or send a notification to the messenger.

Now the AI assistant will help the developer solve code-related tasks in the chat window directly in the development environment. The chat service is also available in GitVerse, where when viewing the repository, you can get an explanation of what this or that part of the code does, as well as tips for improving it. Ruby has expanded the list of programming languages ​ ​ that GigaCode supports, and JSON text data generation has become available. As of March 2024, the AI assistant already supports more than 15 popular programming languages ​ ​ and is installed as a plugin in familiar development environments, including IDEA, PyCharm, VSCode, Jupyter.

Now development on GitVerse is available not only to individual developers, but also to small and medium-sized enterprises. Companies can organize team collaboration and manage access to their repositories.

{{quote 'author = said Maxim Tyatyushev, CEO of Sber Tech.|When developing the presented functionality, we take into account the wishes of users, add the necessary tools so that they can develop even easier and faster. With each release, the platform will become more convenient and replenished with new popular repositories, open source versions of products and tools for effective development. We see the future of development in creating a convenient one-stop shop environment in which all team members can work at their stage of the production process, order cloud infrastructure and communicate. At all stages of development, AI will occupy the partner role: help write code, advise on how to configure the stand, prepare documentation, suggest steps along the CI/CD pipeline, }}

A roadmap for the development of the platform is also presented, according to which even more useful functionality for developers will appear in 2024:

• Project management tools that allow you to easily organize workflows
• An integrated development environment enables you to deploy fully configured development tools in the cloud. The functionality will be available directly from the browser: the developer will be able to easily and quickly open any GitVerse repository in the development environment;
• new GigaCode features: test generation, automatic documentation creation, and smart refactoring. The number of languages ​ ​ that GigaCode supports will be replenished with PHP, HTML, CSS, Markdown and Rust;
• Secure development tools (CI/CD orchestration, static analyzer, secret management, and dependency security)
• convenient and secure login through popular identifications personality services, as well as a mobile version of the platform.

Launch GitVerse

"Sber Tech", a subsidiary, "Sberbank" introduced GitVerse, a collaborative development hosting and code platform, on March 1, 2024. On GitVerse, developers can post open projects with and closed code for free. The service was created and placed in, in Russia connection with which the risks of inaccessibility of development and code for the Russian users are excluded. In addition, for the convenience of developers on GitVerse, repositories can be transferred from popular git sites to one click, representatives of SberTech told the portal. TAdviser

Sber launched the Russian analogue of GitHub

On the platform, you can organize collaboration, involve new participants in the development of projects, comment and check the code, assign tasks. And also communicate and exchange materials about technologies and open source.

"GitVerse allows you not only to publish your projects, but also to interact with the open-source community, which is extremely important for the market. To help developers, we have already launched open testing of the AI-assistant for writing the GigaCode program code, which, as the experience of our teams in Sberbank shows, can reduce the time for creating code by 25%, - said Andrei Belevtsev, Senior Vice President, Head of the Technologies block of Sberbank. - I am confident that GitVerse will become a popular and popular tool for the entire IT industry. Together with leading developers, we will work on placing even more demanded repositories and services on the site. "

The first users who registered with GitVerse will also be able to join the open testing of the personal AI developer assistant - the GigaCode service. GigaCode is designed to speed up and simplify programming by generating code completion options directly in a real-time development environment. The solution supports more than 15 programming languages, including Java, Python, TypeScript, C/C + + and others. At the same time, GigaCode is installed as a plugin in familiar development environments, including IDEA , PyCharm, VSCode, Jupyter. GigaCode is developing in synergy with the GigaChat service in terms of the technologies, processes and approaches used.

"We develop tools that make it easier to build applications at all stages of the manufacturing process. Thanks to this, the developers can focus on interesting tasks, the rest will be taken care of by built-in artificial intelligence, "said Maxim Tyatyushev, CEO of Sber Tech.

According to him, open-source versions of some Sber Tech products have already been posted on the platform. In March, users will have access to additional services and functions for quickly developing, building and deploying applications in the cloud.

As added to Sber Tech, users have access to a free annual package of cloud services, with which they can place developed applications in the cloud using distributed storage and computing technologies.
