Permission to WhiteSource Plugin

[phili...@whitesourcesoftware.com]

Hi, 

i understand i need to "file a PR in the permissions repository" , and get approval from at least one of the previous maintainers.

in order to get access to my company's jenkins plugin
url: https://github.com/jenkinsci/whitesource-plugin


problem is I have no idea how to do that..

what does PR mean and what is the permissions repository, can anybody help me please?

The repository is: https://github.com/jenkins-infra/repository-permissions-updater. Instructions on how to request permissions for an existing plugin are in the README here.

hmm.. that means if i want to add a code i should add to another branch, and then review with the owner and then we can merge my changes to the repository?

that is not what i am looking for.. the owner is my manager, he wants to give me permission to be able to push into Master branch, how can she give me such permission?

[Devin Nusbaum]

No, filing a PR to the repository I linked would give you permission to release your plugin to the Jenkins Maven repository. It is independent of GitHub permissions for your plugin’s repository.

If all you care about is permissions on GitHub, then your manager should already have admin permission on https://github.com/jenkinsci/whitesource-plugin and can give you access directly through the GitHub interface. If your manager does not have admin permissions, then I would have them file an INFRA ticket on https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/, referencing https://github.com/jenkins-infra/repository-permissions-updater/blob/master/permissions/plugin-whitesource.yml and request admin access to the repository, at which point they should be able to give you admin permissions as well.

You probably want GitHub and release permissions, so I would do both things.

It would probably be good to add this to some documentation within your company? Quoting a previous reply:

Please see previous responses to identical requests by your colleagues:

Perhaps you could add this to your wiki?
