This post introduces the concept of integrating design assets (from Figma/Sketch) directly into GitLab issues and merge requests. It highlights how this creates a single source of truth for design collaboration, eliminating multiple sources of confusion. It details how designers can upload designs to issues, enabling conversations about implementation to happen in the same place. It also explains how designers can link relevant designs to merge requests, allowing for comparison with implemented code and review apps. The post advocates for moving designs into the DevOps lifecycle rather than keeping them separate.
