Gitlab extension utilizes the official Gitlab API to provide a comfortable overview about your projects, commits & pipelines.
Either install it:
- via EGS https://extensions.gnome.org/
- download a release: https://github.com/cinatic/gitlab-extension/releases
The data is fetched from the official Gitlab API https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/.
The API has some limitions, e.g. it only returns domain specific data.
As an example projects and commits for example do not have any information of the pipeline status or you
can only fetch pipelines for a single project. So in this extension we mash up some data and can show only
the pipeline information for the most recent projects to avoid hitting the 10 requests / s limit.
If you want to play with the API you might be interested in this postman collection --> https://github.com/cinatic/gitlab-postman-collection
- caching
- lazy loading of additional data (like project pipeline status)
- detail view for commits
- detail view for pipeline w/ nice jobs visualization
- add pagination
- add setting to toggle public / private repositories
GNOME just rocks, thanks to all contributors!
