How GitLab's 5 new code review features will make life easier

What this post added

This post details five new features aimed at improving the code review process within GitLab's DevOps Platform. These include: 1) Integration with IDEs like VS Code and cloud-based environments like Gitpod, allowing users to view, comment on, and checkout branches directly from their development environment. 2) Displaying code quality, security, performance, and other metrics directly within the merge request diff view. 3) Enhancements to the merge request diff view to allow for file-by-file reviews. 4) The ability to mark files as reviewed within the merge request interface. 5) The introduction of 'reviewers' as a distinct role from 'assignee' in merge requests to clarify responsibilities and ensure all necessary parties are informed.
