We currently only support repositories on GitHub, I would like to see support for GitLabs APIs and GitLab CI.

Implementation

API (Forge)

This was implemented in these pull requests:

• feat: add support for GitLab repositories #49
• fix(gitlab): hardcoded project id #51
• fix(parser): invalid handling of title with new line #53
• fix(gitlab): use project path wherever possible #54

GitLab CI/CD

This is a bit more complicated. GitLab CI/CD has multiple drawbacks against GitHub Actions:

• CI/CD pipelines can only be started on repository events, like pushes. We can not start a new job whenever the description is changed
• The default API Token that as available in the pipeline is severly restricted. The only way around this is with a (project/group/personal) access token with the permissions api and write_repository.

This is currently in progress:

• feat(gitlab): GitLab CI/CD component #55

I have also thought about adding a Webhook server that one can deploy to manually create CI jobs when the description is updated.
