Notes on Interpreting This Roadmap

• The roadmap starts from April 2023, outlining plans up till August 2025.
• It divides objectives into three main sections: Initial Phase, Mid-Term Goals, and Long-Term Vision.
• Tasks like ‘V1 Launch,’ ‘Feature Expansion,’ and ‘Integration Capabilities’ mark significant milestones.
• “Excludes weekends” denotes focusing on weekdays for the project’s timeline; the specific exclusion of “2023-05-01, 2023-12-25” showcases holidays or planned non-working periods by the project team.

Roadmap for 2024:

Q1:

• Perform an in-depth market analysis to understand user needs and trends better.
• Begin development of the GUI, focusing on a clean and intuitive design.
• Release a CLI beta version featuring enhanced error management capabilities for select users.

Q2:

• Officially release the GUI version for public use, targeting non-technical audiences.
• Start implementing an incremental update feature in the CLI, following beta testing feedback.
• Conduct usability studies to refine both interfaces.

Q3:

• Roll out multithreading support for concurrent cloning and performance optimization.
• Introduce expanded documentation with comprehensive use cases and tutorials.
• Initiate cross-platform compatibility tests and address OS-specific issues.

Q4:

• Release the incremental update feature to reduce bandwidth usage and improve efficiency.
• Launch a full-fledged cross-platform compatible version of MultiGit Cloning.
• Develop an analytics dashboard for organizations to monitor usage patterns and operational metrics.

Throughout the year, the focus will be on gathering user feedback, refining existing features, ensuring robust security practices, and providing steady updates to support the latest GitHub features. By continuing to incorporate user insights into the development life cycle, MultiGit Cloning aims to evolve into a robust, inevitable tool in developers’ and teams’ arsenals worldwide.
