We no longer guess the head repository using heuristics; instead, we
present the user with the choice of pushable repositories and an
additional option to create a new fork.
The new `pr create --head` flag is available for the user to specify the
head branch in `branch` or `owner:branch` format and completely skip any
forking or auto-pushing checks.
On first run in a git repository, `BaseRepo()` will now prompt the user
which repository should be queried as base repository if there are
multiple git remotes or when we are in the context of a fork.
In non-interactive mode, the prompt is skipped and we default to the
first git remote instead.
After the base repo is resolved, the result is cached in the local
repository using `git config` so that RepositoryNetwork API lookups can
be avoided in the future.
Accept the "HOST/OWNER/REPO" syntax or passing a full URL for both the
`--repo` flag and the GH_REPO environment variable and allow setting
GH_HOST environment variable to override just the hostname for
operations that assume "github.com" by default.
Examples:
$ gh repo clone example.org/owner/repo
$ GH_HOST=example.org gh repo clone repo
$ GH_HOST=example.org gh api user
$ GH_HOST=example.org gh gist create myfile.txt
$ gh issue list -R example.org/owner/repo
$ gh issue list -R https://example.org/owner/repo.git
$ GH_REPO=example.org/owner/repo gh issue list
This fixes a regression where extra git remotes pointing to
non-github.com hostnames could result in gh trying to parse repository
information from them.
Previously we would trigger OAuth flow when the config file did not
exist. Now we will let an empty Config object be initialized in that
case, but trigger OAuth flow when the Context caller requests an
AuthToken.
The login name of the authenticated user will be readily available only
if authentication info comes from the config file. With other upcoming
authentication modes (for example, the GITHUB_TOKEN environment
variable), the token is the only piece of information we got, so we
would need to additionally query for the login name.
Since `issue status` and `pr status` are the only commands that need the
name of the authenticated user right now, have those commands explicitly
query for the login name. This results in an additional API query, but
simplifies Context implementation and future authentication approaches.
- adds config get and config set commands
- supports arbitrary k/v strings set at top and host level
- supports writing an updated config, preserving comments
- supports mostly lazy evaluation of yaml
Before: the default push target for the current branch in `pr create`
was the first repository found among git remotes that has write access.
Now: the default push target is the fork the base repo, if said fork
exists and has write access, falling back to old behavior otherwise.
This change in the default is to facilitate contributions to projects
that have a hard requirement that all pull requests (even those opened
by people with write access to that project) come from forks.
