GitMate.io is an automation tool for developers. While it works well, there are a number of plugins that could automate tasks to save maintainer time (for example automatically close PRs from master).

IGitt is a Git hoster abstraction for python. It's an extensive framework that will help implement GitMate's plugins.

To get started on GitMate, please follow our guide.

Plugin Ideas

  • Reject Pull Requests from master. Should include instructions on how to create a new branch, fix the master branch, and resubmit a PR.
  • Fixes vs Closes automated checking.
  • A squash command to fix a PR with many messy commits. Should link to the coala's git documentation for future reference
  • Automatically mark PRs as WIP if GitMate's coala plugin finds defects.
    • Similarly mark PRs as WIP if CI tests fail.
  • Auto-merger created to integrate rebase and ff plugins.

Configuration

Currently, it is difficult to apply the same rules to different repositories. GitMate should have some method of configuring multiple settings for many repositories. This configuration management must support all existing plugins and be capable of supporting new plugins as well.

Milestones

PREPARATION/BONDING
  • GitMate should automatically reject PRs from master of forks.
CODING PHASE 1
  • Fixes vs Closes automated checking should be implemented.
  • Implement "recheck" command for cases where issues unrelated to the PR cause tests to fail.
  • Squash command implemented.
  • Implement auto-assign issue based on commit mention.

CODING PHASE 2

  • GitMate should mark PRs as WIP if GitMate's coala plugin finds defects.
  • GitMate should mark PRs as WIP if CI tests fail.
  • Configuration management should support plugins created for this project.

CODING PHASE 3

  • Auto-merger created to integrate rebase and ff plugins.
  • All plugins must have sufficient tests and documentation.
  • Configuration management completed.
