Hi there,
I think this would be a major undertaking as this tool is very closely tied to Github's API. I'm not opposed to the idea but I won't have the time to do this myself. A better solution might be to create a separate tool, or fork this and make the necessary adjustments.
I have been analyzing the code and my main problem is that I have no TypeScript experience (my background is in .NET)....
I've tried the basics of setting up the development environment and I don't even know how to do it 😅 (I am on Windows)
This PR seems like a titanic task for someone other than you because of the extensive knowledge it requires of the project itself
I agree, it's a big task. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do it and I don't use Azure DevOps.
@sqren if you are willing to guide me in what I need I can try....
How to configure a basic setup (in Windows):
I have read this document but I see that it lacks a lot of information: https://github.com/sqren/backport/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
Thank you!
Once I am clear on all that we would have to (in 2 separate PRs):
For that abstraction I would need you to guide me on exactly what code to look at etc.
Hi @bdovaz
I suggest creating a separate tool as I cannot promise that I will accept a PR with such a big change. This tool is closely tied to Github's API and it will require much work from me if I need to maintain compatibility against multiple vendors.
I feel sorry for that answer because this tool is the best by far and I would like to use it but without having to do a full fork.... I could do the work to create a PR if you guide me on what I need and if it will end up merge in the main repo, otherwise it makes no sense....
It would be interesting that being a cli tool it would work with other widely used providers like Azure DevOps.
I have been analyzing of all the tools similar to this one and none of them support Azure DevOps, they all seem to be GitHub centric.
Thanks!
