Template:Github source

GitHub website

The following template description is not displayed when the template is inserted in an article.

Goal

This template is for creating links or URLs for the content of the version control repositories of the GitHub open source infrastructure. It is a subtemplate of the master {{repo link}} template designed to be specific for the GitHub repositories.

Usage

{{github source
| cmd        =
| opt        =
| type       =
| user       =
| proj       =
| repo       =
| branch     =
| tag        =
| commit     =
| path       =
| line       =
| post       =

| view       =
| text       =
| pre        =
| simplepath =
| full       =
}}

Either the user or proj parameter, as well as the repo parameter, must be supplied. All other parameters are optional.

Parameter	Description	Abbreviated parameter	Numbered parameter	Status
cmd	An optional command line tool name + options to prepend to the URL. For example git clone.			optional
opt	Any additional options to show after cmd, but before the URL. Note The separation of cmd and opt is for future non-CLI handling of a standardised set of cmd parameter values			optional
type	Choose between the web interface, a direct repository link, or a zip file download. This can be one of git, git webzip. See the {{* zip file}} templates for a simplified interface for the zip files. The default is git web.			optional
user	The name of the user page for the open source infrastructure. This is notably different to the login parameter. This will have precedence over the proj parameter. The user page is treated in the same way as a project name.	u	1	mandatory
proj	The name of the project, consisting of a grouping of repositories on the open source infrastructure.	p	1	mandatory
repo	The name of the repository. A project registered on one of the open source infrastructures generally allows for multiple repositories under that project name.	r	2	mandatory
branch	The branch name. This defaults to next.	b	3	optional
tag	The repository tag name.			optional
commit	The commit identifier (git hash). This defaults to HEAD.	c	5	optional
path	The file or directory path.	f	4	optional
line	The line number(s) of the file to display. For GitHub either use: A single line number, for example 2. Two line numbers separated with a hyphen (-), for example 3-10.	l		optional
post	Text to append. This is forms a set with the parameter cmd and opt. For example it can represent any command line options that come after the URL.			optional
view	View to display: For GitHub use one of blob, blame, commit, commits or raw. The default is tree.	v		optional
text	Text to display as the link label. Overrides pre.	t		optional
pre	Prefix to a link label.			optional
simplepath	If set, this strips off the repository name from the URL label, leaving just the contents of the path parameter. Note The text parameter will override this.			optional
full	If set to 1, the full URL will be shown rather than any text label.			optional

Design

In this section, the following notation will be used:

Angular brackets + lower case text <xyz>

Template parameters.

Angular brackets + upper case text <XYZ>

Template constructed text.

Square brackets [xyz]

Optional text, only added if the parameter is set.

Or symbol |

The value on the left, if present, otherwise the value on the right of the symbol.

Overview

The general design is:

<cmd> <opt> [<URL> <TEXT>] <post>

Here the square brackets do not denote optional text, but will instead produce a Mediawiki link. This can be modified by setting full = 1 to produce:

<cmd> <opt> <URL> <post>

Site: GitHub

The base URL for GitHub repositories is:

<protocol>://github.com/<user|proj>/<repo>

GitHub <URL> for 'type=git'

For this parameter value, the complete <URL> value will be:

<protocol>://github.com/<user|proj>/<repo>.git

GitHub <URL> for 'type=git web'

For this parameter value, the <URL> value will be:

<protocol>://github.com/<user|proj>/<repo>/<view>/<commit|branch>[/<path>][#L<line>]

GitHub <URL> for 'type=zip'

For this parameter value, the zip file URL will be:

<protocol>://github.com/<proj>/<repo>/archive/<commit|tag|branch>.zip

If neither a commit, branch, nor tag is specified, the URL will default to:

<protocol>://github.com/<proj>/<repo>/archive/master.zip

GitHub URL <TEXT> for 'type=git' and 'type=git web'

The link text <TEXT>, if the full parameter is not set, will be:

github/<user|proj>/<repo>/<commit|branch|HEAD>[/<path>][#L<line>]

If the simplepath parameter is set, this changes to:

[/<path>][#L<line>]

If the pre parameter is supplied, this changes to:

<pre>[/<path>][#L<line>]

The text parameter trumps all, and <TEXT> is simply:

<text>

GitHub URL <TEXT> for 'type=zip'

The link text <TEXT>, if the full parameter is not set, will be:

github/<user|proj>/<repo>/[<commit|tag|branch>] zip file

If the simplepath parameter is set, this changes to:

 zip file

If the pre parameter is supplied, this changes to:

<pre> zip file

The text parameter trumps all, and <TEXT> is simply:

<text>

Plain text

To create a URL or link as plain text and avoid external links, simply use the {{#tag:tagname|content}} magic word construct:

{{#tag:nowiki|
  {{repo link
  | full = 1
  }}
}}

https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/flightgear/ci/next/tree/

To use the <code> tags:

{{#tag:code|{{#tag:nowiki|
  {{repo link
  | full = 1
  }}
}}}}

https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/flightgear/ci/next/tree/
