Support for On-premise Solutions

[ghost]

Should this module support on-premise solutions such as on-premise instances of GitLab, or GitHub Enterprise?

I am intrested in this too.

I've been wondering whether this can be done by making an HTTP request to the host and inspecting the headers?

• GitLab: curl -ILv https://gitlab.com/explore: response has a Set-Cookie header for the "_gitlab_session" cookie (confirmed the same for self-hosted)

• GitHub: curl -ILv https://github.com: response has X-GitHub-Request-Id header (no idea about enterprise / self-hosted)

• BitBucket: curl -ILv https://bitbucket.org/account/signin/: plenty of "bitbucket" references in the response body (HTML)

The tricky part about self-hosted repositories is that the hosts / URLs could have nothing to do with the git hosting service, so we'd need to query something to figure it out.

While on premise solution support would be pretty cool, I'm pretty sure there's no way to do it. Having to do a capabilities check of a server is not an option for this module, however.

As I don't believe this is possible, I'm going to close this, but feel free to continue discussing it (and if you do figure something out, open up a new issue!)

@iarna 👋. I'm jumping in late here, but could explain why there isn't a way to do it? I'm looking in particular at the fromUrl function. It looks like it just parses a string, so if we ignore the host and assume the rest of the path is in GH format it should be possible?

Late to this, but I have a question...is it possible to add your own host with hostedGitinfo.addHost('enterpriseHost', ...hostData)?

If so, I think this would suit my needs and I'd be happy to PR to update the docs with this.

I think it would require exporting maybeJoin and maybeEncode however...looks like all the hosts use these helpers.
