CODING PHASE 3


Phase 2 result


Hey guys, GSoC coding Phase 2 was completed and I passed second evaluation. Here is the feedback provided by my mentor Naveen:


Week 1:

I needed an API in IGitt to filter issues of repository and organization based on some issue properties, to implement assign mechanism in GitMate. So, I improved the search API in IGitt to allow filtering issues in a repository or an Organization, by state, assignee and label properties. Checkout merged MR here.

In one of my previous posts, I have mentioned that I have added a 'pr rejector' plugin to close PR's opened on mentioned branch names. One of the GitMate users asked for a feature to auto close PR's on opened on GitHub,  I thought this plugin could be used for that purpose if we gave a Regular Expression string for branch names. I added support for accepting regex strings as branch names. Checkout merged MR here.

Week 2:
As search API was improved in IGitt, I started working on implementing assign mechanism. I added configurations to block assignment to certain labelled issues and certain users, maximum issues with certain label a user can work on, difficulty level order to be followed while getting assignment to the issues. You can check my MR here.


As my college reopened after summer break, it was a bit difficult for me to attend classes and find time to work on the project. I couldn't complete much work during these 2 weeks, I am sure I would be having a tight schedule in the next 2 weeks.

Comment by that plugin will be like this- Second Week For completing squash plugin, I have completed writing code for executing squash commands as required in mr-rebaser repository, also I submitted a PR for executing squash plugin in GitMate.

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
