Yandex displays a similarity of GitHub and GitLab to the market – a platform for developing sourcecraft. With its help, IT experts can develop and develop software products, write Forbes.

The main features of SourceCraft will be smart code navigation and integrated assistant. In the platform interface, you can not only configure the code search through keywords, file names, but also fully study the structure of the code. AI assistant is integrated into the platform to automatically complete the code.

Service supports more than 30 programming languages, including C ++, Go, Java, Kotlin, Python and other languages. Soon in the Sourcecraft Assistant code will appear chat mode. While Sourcecraft is working in a test mode – to use the platform, you need to apply.

Experts note that the demand for GitHub and GitLab alternatives from Russian IT experts is increasing. They believe that the Yandex platform with its own characteristics and deep integration with other services will find the audience and a position on the market. Moreover, the foundation is created by Russia's reality, including language support and requirements of the local market.

At the beginning of the year, it was reported that Apple also works on an artificial intelligence tool for application developers, which will become analog of GitHub's Copilot service from Microsoft. The company admits that they spend a lot of time and effort.
