Other forges and bugtrackers

gcli is capable of not only interacting with Github. It also currently supports:

Bugzilla

Notes

Bugzilla is commonly used as a bug tracker in various large open-source projects such as FreeBSD, the Linux Kernel, Mozilla and Gentoo.

Searching

Suppose you want to search for bug reports containing sparc in the Gentoo Bugzilla.

In this case you need to configure an account that points at the correct URL in $HOME/.config/gcli/config by adding:

gentoo {
	forge-type=bugzilla
	apibase=https://bugs.gentoo.org/
}

Now you can search the Gentoo Bugs:

Issue details

Furthermore we can look at single issues:

$ gcli -a gentoo issues -i 920737 all comments
   NUMBER : 920737
    TITLE : sparc64-solaris Prefix no longer supported
  CREATED : 2023-12-26T19:20:58Z
  PRODUCT : Gentoo Linux
COMPONENT : Profiles
   AUTHOR : Tom Williams
    STATE : CONFIRMED
   LABELS : none
ASSIGNEES : prefix

ORIGINAL POST

    Resurrecting a Prefix install on Solaris 11.4 SPARC. It was working rather well
    for me; after a hiatus I had hoped to use it again but my first emerge --sync
    has removed the profile needed to merge any updates or new packages.

    I note commit 8e006b67e06a19fae10c6059c7fc5ede88834601 in May 2023 removed the
    profile and keywording for prefixed installs.

    There is no associated comment. There doesn't seem to be a bug report in regards
    to the change (I'm quite sure almost nobody uses it, so probably fair enough)

    Any easy way to restore the profile for now? Eventually Solaris/SPARC and thus
    Prefix will be gone anyway, but useful for now.

    Thanks for your continued efforts.

         I think at the very least, when removing Prefix support in future, a 'deprecated'
         file should be added to the relevant profiles asking if anyone is using
         it to step forward.

         Solaris 11.4 itself is a problem.  I doubt you ever had it "working".

GitLab

Configuring an account for use with a token

First you need to generate a token:

  1. Click on your avatar in the top left corner
  2. Choose Preferences in the popup menu
  3. Select Access tokens in the preference menu
  4. Click the Add new token button
  5. Choose some reasonable values

Now click Create personal access token. Save this token - do not share it with anyone else.

You can now update your gcli config in $HOME/.config/gcli/config:

defaults {
    gitlab-default-account=gitlab-com
    ...
}

gitlab-com {
    account=<your-username-at-gitlab>
    token=<the-token-you-just-created>
    forge-type=gitlab
}

After that you should be able to run the following command:

$ gcli -t gitlab issues -o herrhotzenplotz -r gcli

If this process errors out check the above steps. If you believe this is a bug, please report it at our issue tracker!

Gitea

The steps here are roughly the same as with GitLab.

To generate a token:

  1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner
  2. Choose Settings in the popup menu
  3. Select Applications in the menu on the left
  4. Under Generate new token enter a reasonable token name
  5. Click the Generate token button
  6. Save the token - do not share it with anyone else.

You can now update your gcli config file in $HOME/.config/gcli/config:

defaults {
	gitea-default-account=codeberg-org
	...
}

codeberg-org {
	account=<your-username-at-gitea>
	token=<the-token-you-just-created>
	forge-type=gitea
	apibase=https://codeberg.org/api/v1
}

The example here uses Codeberg. Update these fields as needed for your own use case.
