Thanks Douglas! I haven't used GitLab but have heard good things about it lately. I don't currently have plans on supporting it. Contributions are welcome :)

Hello !

I will try to add support for it =)

Thanks for everything, this project is amazing!

Sounds good--it might be pretty involved. Some things off the top of my head that will need to change:

• Current calls to config.api will need to support of GitHub and GitLab
• Authentication login in config.py

If anyone's interested in tackling this please contact me first so we can discuss the design.

I would like to second the request formally as I use gitlab everyday 👍

Hi @douglas are you working on gitlab support for this? I am interested in it and could perhaps help.

@douglas and @wpostma , I'm willing to help add support for gitlab... did either of you start work on it yet?

I have not started yet. I am familiar with Gitlab internals, I have GDK installed and Gitlab-from-source working, and have both production and test systems running gitlab-omnibus that I can use to develop and test against, and I have done a bit of work in Python with the gitlab API wrapper.

Another nice python-gitlab api based tool that I have used is over here, it's used to clean old artifacts up, something gitlab itself lacks:

https://github.com/JonathonReinhart/gitlab-artifact-cleanup

From working with that, I'd say it's possible that some of the APIs we would need for this integration may require changes to python-gitlab, as Jonathon hit several areas where the api wrapper is incomplete.

I'm somewhat familiar with Gitlab but I haven't used the GDK nor worked with the Gitlab API... but I have a lot of python experience. I have been poking around the codebase for gitsome and python-gitlab a bit and I agree, there will probably be some functional changes/extensions to python-gitlab in the process of adding gitlab functionality to gitsome. I've forked this project and have started making minor tweaks... I've yet to start thinking about the best way to integrate something like python-gitlab into the project beyond the basics until I wrap my head around what's already in place.

So far, the more obvious notes I have are:

• move the cli() function from main_cli.py to githubcli.py and delete main_cli.py
• to change the entrypoints in setup.py to point directly to githubcli:cli
• add a gitlab.py and gitlabcli.py to accommodate gitlab-specific API and CLI interfaces
• add python-gitlab (or another utility) to gitsome/lib

What I haven't figured out yet is exactly how these changes will impact config.py which seems to be quite github-centric. I'm open to ideas!

Sorry! I did not started to work on this yet, have been really busy lately =(

@wpostma and @wagoodman do you still have interest on this? Perhaps we can try to hack together using appear.in or other service someday =)

@douglas I'd be for teaming up on this, but I'm probably not going to be available until May-ish (neck deep in the semester).

Hey, no problem =) I can't work on this right now as well - lets try again in May!

Any news on this?
