Repo_name and Repository are the same thing in different git based schemas

[jsmanrique]

It would help having the same field name (repo_nameor repository) for the name of the repository in the git related data indexes. Currently, they are different names for the same things in git and areas_of_code data schema.

If you are suffering this issue: as a workaround you can create a scripted field that copies repo_name to "repository" in the "git" index.

There is a strong limitation here as it is not possible to pin a repository in any of the Git dedicated dashboards and use that filter in the Areas of Code repository. My proposal here is to add the repository field and mark repo_name as deprecated. In the meantime applying the workaround manually should solve it.

The current mess:

index pattern	repository	repo_name	github_repo	gitlab_repo	origin	tag	url
git	missing	available	short	missing	available	available	missing
git_areas_of_code	available	missing	missing	missing	available	missing	missing

I think it is very important first to unify the criteria with the git based repos. We can discuss later about the GitHub/Lab ones.

Let's take the sanitized full git https URL as baseline:

sanitize: strip user and password if present in the URL.

• Field name: repo_url_git
• Pattern: https:///<repo_path>/<repo_name>.git

Then we can derive the URL usual in Github/GitLab, e.g. the git URL without the .git extension:

• Field name: repo_url_web
• Pattern: https:///<repo_path>/<repo_name>
• Alternative field names: repo_url_forge, repo_weburl, repo_forgeurl

The path to repo within the forge

• Field name: repo_path

The (clean) repository name

• Field name: repo_name.
• Alternative field name: repo_shortname

We might also need the slug (the current github_repo field).

• Field name: repo_slug.
• Pattern: <repo_path>/<repo_name>
• Alternative field names: repo_path_name or repo_fullname or repo_fulllpath

The forge instance domain:

• Field name: repo_domain
• Alternative field names: repo_server, repo_server_domain, repo_forge_domain, repo_forge_server, repo_forge_instance

The Github owner:

• Field name: repo_github_owner
• Pattern: <repo_path>

The GitLab group:

• Field name: repo_gitlab_group
• Pattern: <repo_path> = <repo_gitlab_group_lineage>/<repo_gitlag_group>
