Better handling of authenitcation across multiple instances #70
Comments
Authentication is currently not the biggest hurdle to multi-instance workspaces imo, the thing I struggle most with is how things would work UI-wise etc. I'm not entirely opposed to the idea (although it does incur quite some complexity) but there are some things where I'm not really sure how things would work. Maybe you (as a multi-repo workspace user) can tell me what you'd expect behavior to be in these situations and maybe it'll turn out to be not super hard to do:
So I think the main question is how would you determine the current repo, or maybe we want all changes from all repos combined together (which would probably make quite some API calls quite a bit slower). If the answer is that we do just take the current file, is it going to be a situation where you are likely to switch repos often? Do you generally stick to a repo or do you hop back and forth? |
I very often work with AOSP style projects that are composed of repositories across multiple gerrit top level instances that can co-exist in the same workspace.
It seems like I can only really authenticate to a single gerrit instance per workspace under the current forumation of the tool.
Would it be posisble to re-define the tool to better tie into the git API and possibly look for URL authentication via the
