GitHub Enterprise 2.8 is now available with code review, project management tools, and Jupyter notebook rendering

GitHub Enterprise 2.8 adds power and versatility directly into your workflow with Reviews for more streamlined code review and discussion, Projects to bring development-centric project management into GitHub, and Jupyter notebook rendering to visualize data.

Code better with Reviews

Reviews help you build flexible code review workflows into your pull requests, streamlining conversations, reducing notifications, and adding more clarity to discussions. You can comment on specific lines of code, formally “approve” or “request changes” to pull requests, batch comments, and have multiple conversations per line. These initial improvements are only the first step of a much greater roadmap toward faster, friendlier code reviews.

Organize projects while staying close to your code

With Projects, you can manage work directly from your GitHub repositories. Create task cards from pull requests, issues, or notes and drag and drop them into categorized columns. You can use categories like “In-progress”, “Done”, “Never going to happen”, or any other framework your team prefers. Move the cards within a column to prioritize them or from one column to another as your work progresses. And with notes, you can capture every early idea that comes up as part of your standup or team sync, without polluting your list of issues.

Visualize data-driven workflows with Jupyter Notebook rendering

Producing and sharing data on GitHub is a common challenge for researchers and data scientists. Jupyter notebooks make it easy to capture those data-driven workflows that combine code, equations, text, and visualizations. And now they render in all your GitHub repositories.

Share your story as a developer

This release takes the contribution graph to new heights with your GitHub timeline—a snapshot of your most important triumphs and contributions. Curate and showcase your defining moments, from pinned repositories that highlight your best work to a profile timeline that chronicles important milestones in your career.

Amp up administrator visibility and security enforcement

GitHub Enterprise 2.8 gives administrators more ways to enforce security policies, understand and improve performance, and get developers the support they need. Site admins can now enforce the use of two-factor authentication at the organization level, efficiently visualize LDAP authentication-related problems—like polling, repeated failed login attempts, and slow servers—and direct users to their support website throughout the appliance.

Upgrade today

Upgrade to GitHub Enterprise 2.8 today to start using these new features and keep improving the way your team works. You can also check out the release notes to see what else is new or enable update checks to automatically check for the latest releases of GitHub Enterprise.
