MR Reviewer

I was growing a bit sick of plodding through GitLab's UI to find MRs that are ready for review, so made this quick dirty TUI to access non-draft (ready to review) MRs quickly.

Features

• Attractive TUI Interface
• Quickly drill down and find a MR from the comfort of your command line
• Toggle draft PRs by pressing d.
• Slap enter on a MR in the tool, and it opens in your browser!

Build

go mod tidy
go build

A statically linked binary called mr-reviewer will appear in the repo. You can copy it to /usr/local/bin to instantly use it!

Config

You will need a tiny bit of configuration to add your bearer token.

• CD into ~/.config
• Create a folder called mr-reviewer
• Create a config.json inside this new folder
• Open the file and add the boilerplate below
• Fill in the gitlab base path, your gitlab token, and the list of repositories you want to track

{
  "gitlab_base_path": "<Your GitLab instances base url, eg. 'https://gitlab.com'>",
  "gitlab_token": "<Your gitlab access token>",
  "repositories": [
    {
      "name": "<repo name>",
      "description": "<repo description>",
      "route": "<route/to/project>"
    }
  ]
}

How to Generate an Access Token

• Open GitLab
• Click your profile icon
• Navigate to "Preferences"
• Click "Access Tokens" on the left sidebar
• Generate a new token with any name, and the scope read_api
• Your token will appear at the top of the page, below the search bar
• Copy it into the json file described abov

Needs work

• The code is pretty messy ;-;
• Absolutely no tests
• Missing help messages at the bottom for d and backspace. Shouldn't be too challenging to add.
• A UI for creating the configuration for repositories would be nice.
