A comment on GitLab Web IDE. Parent comment

I've actually been using it for the past month or two and it's been pretty solid. My particular use case is that I'm using GitLab pages and can use the Web IDE as a poor man's CMS tool. Edit/preview the markdown and upload images, then commit and have the CI pipeline pick it up and deploy. I can see myself editing config files, READMEs or possibly markup. Real coding would likely end up frustrating as hell.

Ironically, GitLab pages ended up not working very well for me. It was nigh impossible to add a cert to a custom domain. I ended rewriting the CI pipeline to push to Firebase.

Can you test everything before you commit? Like you would do if you did it locally.

No. If you're editing markdown, there's a preview tab but it doesn't account for anything that's part of your jekyll template. Your app isn't running at all.

We plan to add automatic https ssl certs for custom domains in the months ahead.
