Git-bot-feedback

A rust library designed for CI tools to easily submit feedback on a git server.

Feedback on a git server using this library can be in the form of

• thread comments (for a PR or commit)
• setting output variables for other CI tools to consume
• append a summary comment to a CI workflow run's summary page
• mark the start and end of a group of log statements (in the CI workflow run's logs)

More features are planned, like PR reviews and file annotations.

Optional Features

These cargo features are optional and disabled by default:

• file-changes: ability to list files changed with information like which lines have additions or which lines are shown in the diff.

Supported git servers

Initially this project os designed to work with GitHub. But the API is designed to easily add support for other git servers. The following is just a list of git servers that are planned (in order or priority).

• GitHub
• GitLab
• Gitea
• BitBucket

GPL license

This project is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later.

Since this library ultimately requires write access to users' projects (to allow posting comments), it could easily be modified with malicious intent.

By using the GPL-3.0-or-later license, we can offer some assurance and help safeguard end-users' data/privacy because the following conditions must be met:

• the source code is publicly available
• any redistributed forms must state their modifications (if any)
• any redistributed forms must use the same GPL-3.0-or-later license
