🔀 FinderGit 0.30.0 — GitLab and Bitbucket, with nothing to set up

If you keep clones from more than one place, FinderGit used to be uneven about it. GitHub filled in its numbers once you connected an account. Codeberg filled them in with no setup at all. GitLab and Bitbucket showed you nothing.

Now all four are read — and the last three need nothing from you. No account, no token. 🌿

The file browser with all four forges: libtiff on GitLab reading 97 issues, 22 merge requests and 99 stars; monit on Bitbucket with an empty Issues cell beside 3 pull requests

Open a folder with a GitLab project and the Issues, PRs and Stars columns appear on their own. The Issues and Pull Requests tabs work there too — merge requests included, since that is what GitLab calls them — and a project nested in subgroups is understood as the one repository it is. ✅

The part I actually spent the time on 👇

Adding two forges is easy. Being honest about what each one cannot answer is the work.

Look at that screenshot again. monit is on Bitbucket and its Issues cell is empty — while two GitHub rows above it read 0. Different facts, and now they look different: Bitbucket retired its issue tracker in August, so there is no tracker to have zero issues in. An empty cell is the truth; a zero would be a claim about something that no longer exists. 🚫

Same rule everywhere now: a count nobody could obtain shows nothing, not zero.

And the one that took a review round to catch 🧐 — only GitHub reports how far a fork trails its upstream. The other three refuse, each returning a 0 that means no permission to tell you. FinderGit was drawing that as a green "Up to date with upstream". A fork three hundred commits behind looked current. It now says the drift is not available there.

The Overview tab with the Open on GitHub button, the description, stars and forks pills, and topic chips

Also in: comment threads show the right faces 👤 — an author's picture comes from the forge the repo actually lives on, so the same username on two forges is no longer drawn as the same person.

Known limits, said plainly: self-hosted GitLab and Bitbucket Server are not recognised, Bitbucket allows 60 anonymous requests an hour (~20 clones), and private repos on both need an account. Per-forge sign-in lifts all three and is next.

Which forge do you keep clones from that I haven't covered yet? 👀
