Submission process of a new plugin

[Qas...@outlook.com]

Hi,

I have written a plugin for creating a Gitea Personal Access Token Credential from a Kubernetes Secret. I am not a Java developer so I forked a similar plugin for creating a Github App credential and basically brute forced it with my changes till it started working.

gitea-pat-kubernetes-credentials-plugin

I want to submit this plugin to Jenkins org so that anyone looking to integrate their Gitea deployment with Jenkins on Kubernetes can do so.

I would appreciate any guidance on the next steps.

Thanks,

Qasim

Heyo,

there is this guide that outlines how to open a hosting request alongside the general information for publishing plugins. Though I'm unsure if there's a guideline how to deal with forks of existing plugins on the jenkinsci organization.

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for pointing me to the right direction. I have create the hosting request issue.

Though I'm unsure if there's a guideline how to deal with forks of existing plugins on the jenkinsci organization.

You were right about the fork. The bot did not like the fork attachment so I had to detach it. I have also squashed the commits from the original plugin so it's a standalone plugin now. The code is definitely borrowed from the other plugin but the two are functionally non-interchangeable so they shouldn’t be a fork.

Thanks again,

Qasim

Is it worth submitting a PR to add the functionality to the gitea
plugin? its an optional dependency on the kubernetes secrets plugin
anyways.

The pattern I saw was that both GitHub and Bitbucket had separate plugins for Kubernetes Credential Provider so I assumed it has to be a separate plugin. I am also not aware how optional dependencies are managed and what impact it would have on the Gitea plugin if we add this functionality there.
