Git Forge Operator – a unified CLI for GitHub, GitLab, and more

Project description

日本語

gfo – Git Forge Operator

A CLI tool to operate multiple Git hosting services with a unified command interface.

  • Operate 9 services with the same commands (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Backlog, Gitea, Forgejo, Gogs, GitBucket)
  • Auto-detects the service from remote URL
  • Depends only on requests — lightweight
  • Supports table / json / plain output formats

Supported Services

Service Identifier Auth Environment Variable
GitHub github GITHUB_TOKEN
GitLab gitlab GITLAB_TOKEN
Bitbucket Cloud bitbucket BITBUCKET_TOKEN (email:api-token format)
Azure DevOps azure-devops AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT
Gitea gitea GITEA_TOKEN
Forgejo forgejo GITEA_TOKEN
Gogs gogs GITEA_TOKEN
GitBucket gitbucket GITBUCKET_TOKEN
Backlog backlog BACKLOG_API_KEY

Installation

pip install gfo

Requirements: Python 3.11 or later

Quick Start

# 1. Initialize in your repository (auto-detects service from remote URL)
gfo init

# 2. Set up authentication token
gfo auth login

# 3. List pull requests
gfo pr list

# 4. Create an issue
gfo issue create --title "Bug report"

# 5. Clone a repository
gfo repo clone alice/my-project

Authentication

Token resolution order:

  1. credentials.toml (saved via gfo auth login)
  2. Service-specific environment variables (see table above)
  3. GFO_TOKEN generic environment variable (fallback for all services)

File paths:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\gfo\credentials.toml
  • Linux / macOS: ~/.config/gfo/credentials.toml
# Set token interactively
gfo auth login --host github.com

# Set via environment variable
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# Check authentication status
gfo auth status

See docs/authentication.md for token creation instructions for each service (required scopes/permissions).

Global Options

Option Description Default
--format {table,json,plain} Output format table
--jq EXPRESSION Apply jq filter to JSON output (implicitly enables --format json)
--version Show version

Configuration

gfo resolves configuration in 3 layers (in order of priority):

  1. git config --local (per-repository, saved by gfo init)
  2. ~/.config/gfo/config.toml (global)
  3. Auto-detection from remote URL

config.toml example:

[defaults]
output = "table"          # Default output format (table / json / plain)
host = "github.com"       # Default host (optional)

[hosts."gitea.example.com"]
type = "gitea"
api_url = "https://gitea.example.com/api/v1"

[hosts."gitlab.example.com"]
type = "gitlab"
api_url = "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4"

File paths:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\gfo\config.toml
  • Linux / macOS: ~/.config/gfo/config.toml

×: Not supported (returns NotSupportedError)

Footnotes:

  • Branch Protect (Bitbucket): Only force-push and deletion control; review requirements, status checks, and admin enforcement are not supported.
  • Org (Azure DevOps): list, view, repos only; members is not supported (use Teams for member management).

Development

# Run tests (with coverage)
pytest

# Run specific tests
pytest tests/test_commands/test_pr.py

Integration Tests

Integration tests against real services are also available.

  • Self-hosted (Gitea / Forgejo / Gogs / GitBucket): Can run automatically with Docker
  • SaaS (GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket / Azure DevOps): Requires accounts and API tokens for each service

See docs/integration-testing.md for detailed setup instructions.

# Self-hosted tests (auto Docker startup and cleanup)
bash tests/integration/run_selfhosted.sh

# SaaS tests (set tokens in .env first)
bash tests/integration/run_saas.sh
