Gitlab Introspection

A groovy toolbox for extracting information from Gitlab servers via API.

Right now this tool/script extracts following information from a Gitlab server.

repo count: 77
with license: 37
without license: 40
with readme: 33`

Additionally this information is also provided per namespace:

namespace                ,  with_lic,   no_lic,   readme
abc                      ,        3 ,        3,        3
def                      ,        0 ,        1,        0
ghi                      ,        1 ,        3,        0
xyz                      ,        2 ,        0,        2

There might be gradle files missing. I don't know enough about gradle to be sure to include everything required.

Background

The question came up, of how to assess practises on a Gitlab Server. Raising awareness of (bad) practises was also an issue.

Something similar was done at University of Würzburg.

Usage

Run org.derse.gitlabintrospection.GitlabLicenses.main

Configuration

The main method has a string called configFile. Paste the file name of you config file in json format there.

Example config:

{
  "server":"https://gitlab.gwdg.de/",
  "token": ""
}

Use a token in order to access non public projects.

Limitations

• Hardcoded config file location.
• There is no content checking going on. The script does not care what the repo holds.

Software Licenses

There exists an OSS review toolkit. This tool checks projects dependencies and highlights license conflicts.

Maintainer

• Stephan Janosch, [email protected]
