PitLab

Allows integration of PivotalTracker story additions, updates, and comments into GitLab issues.

PitLab does not require or provide an external tool integration to import stories into PivotalTracker from GitLab. The issues created / updated by PitLab are identified using tags.

Setup

1. Install PitLab

npm install -g pitlab

2. Start PitLab

PITLAB_PORT=3000 pitlab path/to/config.json

3. Configure Pivotal Tracker Project
   Go to the project you wish to integrate -> Settings -> Integrations -> Activity Web Hook
   Fill in the form as follows

• Web Hook URL url to interact with PitLab, of the form http://<host>:3000/storyupdate/<repo_path
  • host is the publicly available location pitlab is deployed
  • repo_path is the gitlab path to the project to integrate with, including the group (e.g. <group>/<project>)
• API Version v3

Configuration

PitLab expects a JSON configuration file when initiated from the command line. The configuration has the following properties:

• gitlab_url: [Required] base URL of GitLab installation
• gitlab_token: [Required] usable API token within GitLab (found within your user profile on GitLab)
  • Note that the provided token must have access to each GitLab projected intended to be integrated with PivotalTracker. It is recommended to create a "dummy" user with necessary privileges on each project to integrate and use its API token.
• close_on_state: [Optional] Array of story states indicating an issue needs to be closed. States must be one of started, finished, delivered, rejected, accepted.
• create_on_state: [Optional] Array of story states indicating an issue needs to be created. States must be one of started, finished, delivered, rejected, accepted.
• create_on_type: [Optional] Array of story types indicating an issue needs to be created, after the story is created within PivotalTracker. Types must be one of feature, bug, chore, release.
• post_comments: [Optional] Boolean indicating whether to post comments from a story to a linked issue.

Example configuration:

{
    "gitlab_url": "mygitlab.com",
    "gitlab_token": "abcd1234",
    "close_on_state": ["accepted"],
    "create_on_type": ["feature","bug"],
    "create_on_state": ["rejected"],
    "post_comments": true
}
