Transfer ownsership via json api

[jaroel]

Hi,

There's not an option to transfer ownership of a repo using the json API.
I'd like to move project to an "archive" organisation when the project is done.

Here's a workaround:

import requests
from lxml import html

LOGIN_URL = "https://git.mydomain.com/user/login"
REPO_SETTINGS_URL = "https://git.mydomain.com/{org}/{repo}/settings"
USERNAME = "admin"
PASSWORD = "password"


def get_csrf(resp):
    # Get the csrf token from the html
    doc = html.fromstring(resp.content)
    return doc.find('*//input[@name="_csrf"]').value


def transfer_ownsership(reponame, source_org, target_org):
    session = requests.Session()

    # Authenticate
    resp = session.get(LOGIN_URL)
    session.post(
        LOGIN_URL,
        data={
            "_csrf": get_csrf(resp),
            "user_name": USERNAME,
            "password": PASSWORD,
        },
    )

    # Transfer to other org
    repo_settings_url = REPO_SETTINGS_URL.format(org=source_org, repo=reponame)
    resp = session.get(repo_settings_url)
    session.post(
        repo_settings_url,
        data={
            "_csrf": get_csrf(resp),
            "action": "transfer",
            "repo_name": reponame,
            "new_owner_name": target_org,
        },
    )


# Transfer myproject from SOURCE_ORG to TARGET_ORG
transfer_ownsership('myproject', 'projects', 'archived_projects')

Will this be supported in the future?

Usecase:

• developer starts a project under his username
• project grows and must be added to an organisation
• other devs are added to the team

Are there any other ways to cover my usecase?
Forks maybe? Hm...

This was implemented in #9947
