NAME
API::GitForge - generic interface to APIs of sites like GitHub, GitLab etc.
VERSION
version 0.007
SYNOPSIS
# try to autodetect the forge type; works for GitHub and some others my $github = API::GitForge->new_from_domain( domain => "github.com", access_key => "12345678" ); # specify the forge type yourself by instantiating the right class my $salsa = API::GitForge::GitLab->new( domain => "salsa.debian.org", access_key => "abcdef" ); # generic user operations regardless of the forge type $github->clean_fork("spwhitton/git-remote-gcrypt"); $salsa->clean_fork("Debian/devscripts");
DESCRIPTION
A git forge is a site like GitHub, GitLab etc. This module provides access to some operations which one might wish to perform against any git forge, wrapping the details of the APIs of particular forges. An example of such an operation is forking a repository into the user's own namespace. See API::GitForge::Role::GitForge for details of all the currently supported operations. Patches adding other operations, and support for other git forges, are welcome.
FUNCTIONS
new_from_domain domain => $domain, access_key => $key Instantiate an object representing the GitForge at $domain which does API::GitForge::Role::GitForge. This function will only succeed for known forges; see %API::GitForge::known_forges. The "access_key" argument is optional; if present, it should be an API key for the forge. $API::GitForge::known_forges{"ourlab.com"} = "API::GitForge::GitLab"; my $ourlab = API::GitForge::new_from_domain( domain => "ourlab.com", access_key => API::GitForge::forge_access_token("ourlab.com") ); forge_access_token $domain Return access token for forge at $domain, assumed to be stored under "$ENV{XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gitforge/access_tokens/$domain" where the environment variable defaults to "~/.config" if unset. remote_forge_info $remote Look at the URL for git remote $remote, as returned by "git remote get-url", assume that this remote is a git forge, and return the domain name of that forge and the path to the repository. system qw(git remote add salsa https://salsa.debian.org/spwhitton/foo); my ($forge_domain, $forge_repo) = API::GitForge::remote_forge_info("salsa"); say $forge_domain; # outputs 'salsa.debian.org' say $forge_repo; # outputs 'spwhitton/foo'
STATUS
Unstable. Interface may change.
