Use git-repo #2

Open jayvdb opened 7 years ago

jayvdb commented 7 years ago

git-repo has a fairly neat set of functionality that would allow all of the commands to work with 'any' git hosting service.

It provides an abstraction layer on top of specialised libraries for each git hosting service, and has a good (but basic) test suite, so we wouldnt need to worry about how to contact these services, even if they are private repos.

You meant to open this here? Or https://github.com/meetmangukiya/err-you-cobot/? I don't think we are working in this version of cobot.

No, if we're going to be using err, I think we would want a new plugin in a new & separate repo, as many other people would be wanting to use it.

If we're building a new bot from scratch (this repo), then I think we'd want to make it git-centric (but multi hosting service), and putting git-repo as one of the pillars of the bot would help do that.

If this is something like an API wrapper that is more easier to use then it is awesome. There is always an alternative that we can call the command needed for the task using subprocess and get the job done. But that looks little dirty.

Unified interface to interact with various git-hosting website is surely interesting though.
