In working towards maintaining an LTS version of Gitea, one of the blockers was to be able to backport pull requests, for bug fixes and other changes.
|
||||
One of Gitea's maintainers, [yardenshoham](https://github.com/yardenshoham), in an effort to improve their development workflow created a tool to allow automation to create backports.
|
||||
A side-effect of this effort is that this tool can not only be used to backport just for his pull-requests, but most pull requests that need a backport too.
|
||||
|
||||
We are enormously thankful for his effort in creating this tool, as it has allowed numerous (a few hundred at last count) backports, and increased development velocity.
|
||||
As well, with the tool being open source it has allowed others to provide enhancements.
|
||||
|
||||
Feel free to check it out [here](https://github.com/GiteaBot/gitea-backporter).
|
||||
You might even want to adapt and use it for your own (open source) project.
