  • Cannot save .authinfo.gpg
    1 project | /r/emacs | 16 Jun 2023
    However, i'm still unable to create issues or pull requests from within forge, returning error in process filter: Failed to submit post: (error http 404 ((message . "Not Found") (documentation_url . "https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/#create-a-pull-request"))). Do you know how to solve this as well? I've tried looking around for resources, and so far have only come across issue #273 on magit/forge repo, which was resolved using the correct token permissions. My token was set up with the repo, user, and read:org permissions as per the documentation, but am facing the same issue. I have also run (setq url-debug t) for more verbose debugging, but I'm not seeing any additional help either.
  • What do you use for git integration in neovim?

    You can also manage via a holistic UI: - Bisection - Log and reflog, stashes - subtrees, submodules - certain third party subcommands like git-absorb, and extend it with your own - interact with issues and pull requests via forge - pretty much all of the hundreds of CLI flags via a modal UI that got generalized and extracted to a lib called transient - well-integrated diff and conflict resolution (which is mostly just smerge) - the rebase/cherry-pick workflows I liked the best, including support for --update-refs - at any time you can always press a key to see the raw commands and output that it's using, which taught me a ton of corner cases - IMO it has a great manual
  • How can I edit magit forge issue comments in Org Mode?

  • How I use Emacs as a non-programmer
    3 projects | /r/emacs | 19 May 2023
    Yes :). Basically all you need to be able to fork and pull request is the Forge package. It's made from the author of Magit: https://github.com/magit/forge Just follow the manual, you basically need to create a token on GitHub and share it with Forge through your authinfo. I tested it recently (cloned, forked, made changes, committed, pushed and pull request to original repo) and I didn't have to open Firefox even once. https://magit.vc/manual/forge/

    orgit package, which provides Org link types pointing to Magit buffers (including log and revision buffers). Optionally, magit/forge and orgit-forge packages might be useful too, for noting issues and pull requests.

    Not projectile-specific, but see browse-at-remote and forge (of interest are forge-browse-* commands).
  • How do you guys use forge with magit and github?
    1 project | /r/emacs | 3 Aug 2022
    There is also https://github.com/magit/forge, which I haven't looked at. Instead, I do all the proprietary github things through their proprietary website.
  • What Comes After Git
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Jul 2022
    For magit users, there's https://github.com/magit/forge - ultimately the store of record is still centralized as it's GitHub/GitLab/etc., but it does integrate a local copy of it nicely with your other git operations.
