GSoC Coding Phase 1

Coding Phase 1

Hey guys, it's been a long time since my last GSoC post, I will be sharing what have I done in GSoC Coding Phase 1 in this post. As I said in my last post, I had exams during this period and I had lot of work to do.



First week

I couldn't work first three days due to exams.  As soon as I got a couple of preparation holidays, I started working on writing a new plugin called PR(pull request) rejector, which closes PR's opened on certain list of branches, and leave a configurable comment stating to open PR on another source branch. This plugin will be helpful to automatically review the source branch of the PR and save the time of developers. Though I started working on it, I could not complete it yet, due to some migrations error, so I decided to work on another issue and come back to this later.

Second week

There were some exams in the beginning of the week, but I was free in the weekend, so I started working on a IGitt enhancement, to add mentioned_issues , closes_issues properties in Commit class, these properties were already present in MergeRequest class, so I moved the methods which helps to get those properties to Commit class and used commit methods in MergeRequest. My work(MR) on this enhancement got merged few days back.

Third week

I was done with my exams and I started working on a squash plugin, which squashes multiple commits into one. Initially newcomers will use "git commit" instead of "git commit --amend " when they want to change their commit, this will create multiple commits in a PR, squash plugin will squash those commits into a single commit directly from GitHub.

 Though I started working on the issues, I couldn't complete many of them, I was running behind the schedule. I need to finish Phase 1 tasks assigned to me by next week and there are first phase evaluations in the next week. I will be writing another post next week, so stay tuned.

What is GSoC? Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an online, international program designed to encourage university student participation in open source software development. Students work for an open source software organization, and earn a stipend for successfully completing the project. If you want to know more about GSoC, click  here . How it all started? I joined a student club called  FOSS@AMRITA  in Amrita University , where a group of students work on various open source projects helping each other. I got to know about GSoC from the club itself, most of the previous year GSoC students from our college were members of the club. I was motivated by seeing them and started learning coding, staying in the lab after my college hours. Why I was attracted to GSoC is for real world experience, to prove myself that I can do something and for swag, stipend too. Why coala? Choosing an organization from previous year GSoC orgs was a hard one. Initially, I chose  Joomla  a

GSoC Coding Phase 3 ends

Coding Phase 3 Last phase of GSoC period is completed. In this phase, I finished all the work which was pending in the previous phases. Week 3: I implemented squash command in GitMate, to squash all commits in a pull request into a single commit with defined commit message. This feature was supposed to implemented in the first phase, but there were some issues when giving multi line commit message and when there is merge commit, so I implemented a command to squash last 'n' number of commits instead of squashing given set of commits. Also, my cEP got merged, after many amendments. Week 4: I worked on adding assign request command which assigns and unassigns an issue to a user who requests for assignment or unassignment. Also, a user must satisfy all the eligibility conditions to get assigned to the issue. This one involved with writing many test cases. Check my pull request here . I started working on merging all pull request review plugins into
