GSoC proposal about the Multi-branch for Gitlab

[arch]

hi:

I made a proposal about the Multi-branch support for Gitlab.

Here is the doc link.

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks,

Hi Rick,

Thanks for starting this discussion! I think it is good to be published as a draft project idea on jenkins.io.

I suggest to also bring up this topic in the Pipeline Authoring SIG (e.g. just adding it to CC).

Best regards,

Oleg

Agree with this.

I've made some changes. Consider that the current proposal could be a little scope for GSoC. How about let it covers multi git provider. Like gitea and gitlab.

FYI, I made a comment - It's worth noting that GitLab CI is not available in the Community Edition, which makes Jenkins the best available alternative. A strong integration point between Jenkins and GitLab Community Edition makes for a very convincing open source stack when considering CI/CD tools.

I think this is an excellent, and very welcome feature that's been missing for quite some time.  I applaud the effort, and hope this comes-to-be.

just as a correction: That's not true. GitLab CI is available in the
Community Edition. See
https://about.gitlab.com/product/continuous-integration/ for details.
The Debian project is running a big GitLab Community Edition instance
with GitLab CI: https://salsa.debian.org/public

From my personal experience, GitLab CI is better integrated with GitLab
(naturally), but Jenkins offers more flexibility (for example with
integration of test result reporting and third-party services).

Dito. For the record: I'm personally administrating a pretty big Jenkins
instance at work with GitLab integration and having better integration
would certainly help us (see for example
https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin/pull/600)
