github enterprise support: change github url

[BK-Choi]

It would be great if you have any plan to support custom github url.
I want to use this extension at work. 🙏
Thank you.

Hi! @BK-Choi Could you tell me more information about github enterprise.
Is the same github UI?
Just change url? Example.
https://github.com/LuisReinoso/git-history-browser-extension/blob/master/extension/main.js
become
https://custom.domine/LuisReinoso/git-history-browser-extension/blob/master/extension/main.js

@LuisReinoso yes, everything is the same except the domain, which would be <your-org>.github.com

[BK-Choi]

@LuisReinoso
As @Billy- said, we are using exactly same github UI with different URL.
But, this case is https://<custom-url>.com

I tried like below, but doesn't work

• query : https://<custom-url>.com/{organization}/{project}/git-history-browser-extension/blog/master/<file>
• result : Not Found
  • http status code : 404

[LuisReinoso]

Ok I understand only change <your-org>.github.com like @Billy- said.
I need some help to test that is working before to publish on stores. I'm going to write instructions about how to use it in development on README.md.

I have analyzed better and I have two more thing to say before to change this extension.

1. Did you try open your project into https://githistory.xyz/ ? Remember that this extension add a button to redirect to this page.
2. Reading source code of git history https://github.com/pomber/git-history/blob/master/src/git-providers/github-commit-fetcher.js You could see that for fetch github commit use github API but I don't think that is the same of github enterprise. Maybe git history not support for github enterprise.
3. Remember that git history has a cli and vs code extension that could help to see file history.

[BK-Choi]

found possible issue.
Github Enterprise API v3 URL is not https://api.{custom-domain}, and is https://{custom-domain}/api/v3
therefore, this issue has two points to discuss.

1. support custom URL for Github Enterprise
2. suport Github Enterprise API v3

What do you think?

---

1. As you might know, Github Enterprise is on-premise, open with https://githistory.xyz/~ leads me to index page of githistory.xyz
2. Here's Github Enterprise API doc. I hope this helps.

• https://developer.github.com/enterprise/2.14/v3/

3. OK. I will try them.

Summary

• Git history don't support Github Enterprise API v3 and custom URL for Github Enterprise
• I think that is necessary to open an issue on git-history repo to talk about this requirement.
• Make a pull request to add another git provider to support Github Enterprise API v3 . I think that authentication it's a problem
• This extension would support Github Enterprise if git-history support it.

Ideas

• On old version of git history: I have found a interesting pull request on git history and this link contain old version of git history but I think that is easy to change api request and implement authentication.
  • If developer environment not start try yarn
  • yarn start and select another port.
  • make authentication to make valid request
  • change API request in github.js file to Github Enterprise API v3 equivalent.
  • if all is ok open (just an example - url is from gitpod.io)
    https://3000-esadsa-5465-545f-815csa-sadsa56.ws-us0.gitpod.io/:username/:repo/blob/master/:file
  • maybe the best option is to make this steps on your local machine and deploy on your own server and change this extension to redirect you to new server
• On actual version of git history: check this issue to deploy your own version. Before make authentication and change API request then modify this extension to add your own button to your Github Enterprise.

You're 1000% right. This issue should've opened on git-history repo.
Thank you for your quick&detailed response.
