This tweet is, unsurprisingly, too light on details. I wonder what the plus for Xcode is here? I'm sure it already had Git integration. Is Xcode getting project, issue, merge-request etc. management support? And they chose to start that with (or exclusively base it on) GitLab?


Maybe they had a slide for GitHub and they deleted it in light of the Microsoft announcement. Apple is one of very few companies secretive enough to be able to do something like that.


It supports GitHub, BitBucket and GitLab.

It’s not very useful though. It just lets you clone repos without using a shell. Kind of pointless.


Why highlight GitLab and not Bitbucket, then? Is someone else cozying up to Atlassian?


The slide where it was announced showed both GitLab and Bitbucket. GitHub was already there since Xcode 9 from last June.


They both were highlighted equally in the State of the Union Keynote.


Yeah. This reeks of desperate and exaggerated marketing to me. Which is pretty much par for the course when it comes to anything GitLab says.

As others have said, support for two platforms was added. And GitHub was already supported. Guess that doesn’t make a great headline though.


One other unmentioned point. Xcode 10 loses support for Subversion.
