git-bug/git-bug 0.6.0

on GitHub

This release mainly feature the Github exporter, the bidirectional Gitlab bridge, extensive bridge improvements and better text support in the TermUI.

Thanks to the work of @A-Hilaly during and after the Google Summer of Code, numerous improvements have been made on the bridges. The Github workflow is now complete, a full Gitlab bridge has been added, support for cancellation and resume make them fast and robust.

An important work leading to the creation of https://github.com/MichaelMure/go-term-text has been done to provide a better text rendering in the CLI and the termUI, especially for languages with wide characters like Japanese or Chinese.

Breaking changes

• bridges configuration format changed. If you had a configured bridge, you will need to remove the section in the git config (in .git/config) and configure it again

Core

• Labels now have colors and are displayed in each UI and exposed in GraphQL, thanks to @ludovicm67
• text formatting for the terminal (CLI and TermUI) as been extracted into its own reusable package: https://github.com/MichaelMure/go-term-text
• a new infrastructure for storing bridge's tokens and credentials has been added by @A-Hilaly. This allow in particular to reuse the same credential from multiple git repository.
• hash collision are now checked before storing a new operation

CLI

• new command git-bug bridge push to push updates to a remote bugtracker
• git bug webui learned the --open and --no-open flags to control if the UI should be automatically opened in the default browser, as well as the git-bug.webui.open git config to control the default behavior
• new command git-bug bridge auth to list known credentials
• new command git-bug bridge auth add-token to store a new token
• new command git-bug bridge auth rm to remove a credential
• new command git-bug bridge auth show to display a credential's detail
• the command git-bug termui learned the git bug tui alias
• PowerShell completion is now available

All of the following changes have been implemented by @A-Hilaly , awesome work and a lot of thanks ! ❤️

• new fully-featured Github exporter
• new fully-featured Gitlab importer
• new fully-featured Gitlab exporter
• the Github configurator learned to detect candidate projects from the git remotes
• all bridges now support cancellation for import and export
• all bridges now return a stream of events so that UIs can report them appropriately
• all bridges now tag bugs with their origin and exporter only export their own bugs to avoid unexpected situations. A way to control what is imported and exported will be added later
• all bridges can now read a token from stdin during the configuration to avoid logging it in the shell history
• Github and Gitlab bridges now support resume for a much faster import after the first import
• Github and Gitlab bridges now have automated test suites

GraphQL

• mutations now conform to the Relay specification
• repository.ValidLabels is now a connection

WebUI:

• @sandhose worked at improving the code architecture to prepare for more features
