Github repos

[ultraviolet]

Hi,
I am trying to add a few github repos to releasebell. The logs are reporting errors, what I am not sure about is do I need to add my github token?

The logs are reporting as follows:

Jul 15 20:27:00 releasebell/tasks syncReleasesByProject: [DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo] type github_manual start sync releases. Last successful sync was at 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z +12m

@ultraviolet If I understand correctly, and you have 2FA enabled on Github (I hope you do) then yes, you'd need to create a Personal Access Token to use in place of your password:

https://github.com/settings/tokens

[ultraviolet]

@marcusquinn yeah I do have 2fa enabled but even with the token the manually added repos are still not appearing.

This appears to be an app bug then, can you please file an issue at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/releasebell/-/issues with ideally steps to reproduce (like the github repo for example)

[marcusquinn]

@ultraviolet I was about to say looks like an App issue and to contact their support, then saw it's a Cloudron App Best defer to the creators.

[ultraviolet]

@nebulon sure will do

Just star the repos in Github, then they are automatically added to ReleaseBell.

As @Hillside502 pointed out, does starring the repo not make it appear in the list? Out of curiosity, why are you are trying to add it manually?

[ultraviolet]

@girish it does appear if I star it. I don't always want to star a repo, sometimes I just want to track releases as I have two accounts one personal one for work.

@ultraviolet
At first, I was thinking:-
KISS principle - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle

but then, I thought @girish how about ReleaseBell reacting to either of:-

• starred
• watching -- in this case, triggered by a release

Back in the day we used to use an external service to track all the products. I forgot what it's called but it shutdown. We made releasebell as a replacement for that service. That other service used to simply track starred repos. Just explaining why Releasebell is the way it is right now. It was a simple clone.
