The platform allows developers to review and purchase new tools that do everything from helping to manage projects, to automating code building, testing code quality, or monitoring the impact of code changes.
The marketplace allows developers to start using the tools collected there without setting up multiple accounts or multiple payment methods.
Among the launch partners areTravis Cl, Codacy, Waffle.io, Sentry, Appveyor, ZenHub, CircleCi and others, with more to be announced in the future.
Waffle.io, an open source developer of workflow apps, said participating as a GitHub Marketplace launch partner allows it to reach more customers directly and enhance the overall marketplace right out of the box.
Circle Ci, another GitHub Marketplace launch partner, will use the site to promote its mission of helping developers speed the building, testing and deployment of code.
Users of the company’s 2.0 platform, which is in beta, have seen up to 50 percent reductions in build time, Rose said.
The platform allows users to configure CPU and RAM to meet their needs and allows them to access first-class Docker support, he noted.
