Missing documentation for `git_hosting_providers` within the hosted documentation

[brycefranzen]

Summary

git_hosting_providers is missing documentation within the hosted Zed documentation

Adding

"git_hosting_providers": [
  {
   "provider": "gitlab",
    "name": "Tdd",
    "base_url": "https://git.tdd.io"
  }

to the setting works for parsing GitLab permalinks, but this is not documented anywhere

---

Original report:

Copy Permalink doesn't work with custom gitlab instances if the url doesn't contain "gitlab".

My gitlab instance looks like this:
git@git.tdd.io:engine/engine-api.git

Copy Permalink returns this error:
Failed to copy permalink: parsing Git remote URL

Description

Please fix the permalink logic to work correctly.
Adding a config setting for git instance mappings may be a viable option here.
Then the full url can be determined using the git remote and this config mapping to which provider it's on.
Additionally, it'd be nice to include the start and end line number for the permalink (my custom task below handles this)

Something like this:

"git": {
  "remotes": [
    {"host": "git.tdd.io", "provider": "gitlab"},
    {"host": "github.com", "provider": "github"},
    {"host": "bit.test.com", "provider": "bitbucket"}
  ]
}

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set git remote to a url similar to the one above
2. Select code
3. Right click or execute command to copy permalink
4. Notice Failure

Expected Behavior:
Copy the url to the clipboard

Actual Behavior:
Fails with error

Side Note

I was able to get this working using a custom task:

 {
    "label": "Copy GitLab Permalink To Selection",
    "command": "REPO_URL=$(git remote get-url origin | sed -e \"s/^git@\\(.*\\):\\(.*\\)\\.git$/https:\\/\\/\\1\\/\\2/\"); COMMIT_SHA=$(git log -1 --format=\"%H\" -- \"${ZED_RELATIVE_FILE}\"); echo \"${REPO_URL}/blob/${COMMIT_SHA}/${ZED_RELATIVE_FILE}#L${ZED_ROW}-$(echo $(($(wc -l <<< \"$ZED_SELECTED_TEXT\") + $ZED_ROW - 1)))\" | xclip -selection clipboard",
    "cwd": "${ZED_WORKTREE_ROOT}",
    "hide": "always",
    "use_new_terminal": false,
    "allow_concurrent_runs": true,
    "tags": ["git"]
  }

Thanks for the report!

I think we actually have something like this, namely git_hosting_providers. Sadly, this was never documented since this was added some time ago.

Can you try adding

"git_hosting_providers": [
  {
   "provider": "gitlab",
    "name": "Tdd",
    "base_url": "https://git.tdd.io"
  }
],

(note I haven't tested this, but it should be either this or something similar) and report back whether that works for you?

This works perfectly! Thanks for the quick response, and sorry for my slow response back 😅
