Tighter integration between Discuss and GitHub?

Do we want tighter integration between the forum and GitHub? User Levels 1+ please vote here.

We have access to the features that this plugin provides, namely:

GitHub Linkback: If someone mentions a PR/Commit here then have a bot automatically make a comment including a link to the Discuss thread as a comment in the respective PR/Commit
GitHub Badges: Allows for automatic badges based on contributions to repos

Both of the above are able to be limited to specific orgs/repos.

Yes to both
Linkback only
Badges only
Neither

Added GitHub integration, you’ll now see the user discuss-daml make comments in PRs and commits on GitHub if you reference them here.

Badges are also enabled so if you have enough commits to digital-asset/daml you should get badges but I’m not sure how it ties together users yet (maybe email) so we’ll see if it works

EDIT: Looks like it does email and screenname matching so hopefully this works out well enough.

class Granter
  def initialize(emails)
    @emails = emails
    @badges = []
  end


  def add_badge(badge, as_title:, threshold:)
    @badges << [badge, as_title, threshold]
  end


  def grant!
    email_commits = @emails.group_by { |e| e }.map { |k, l| [k, l.count] }.to_h


    regular_emails = []
    github_name_email = {}
    @emails.each do |email|
      match = email.match(/\A(\d+\+)?(?<name>.+)@users.noreply.github.com\Z/)


      if match
        name = match[:name]
        github_name_email[name] = email

Does this have any impact on some people not being able to include GitHub URLs at all? I’m trying to create a separate topic with some GitHub links and am getting an error: “Sorry you cannot post a link to that host.”

You got flagged by an anti-spam measure because you’re a new user posting too many links to github too fast. You should be all good to go now.
