Any daily builds anywhere?

Are there anywhere? Would like Gitblit GO builds somewhere.

Not as such, no. There is a continuous build on Travis, but it only builds on commits and merge requests and does not build full GO or WAR.

The version 1.9.0 can be downloaded from the GitHub releases.

As for nightlies, Gitblit currently has CI builds on GitHub and on Travis. I don't know in how far these can provide build artefacts for download. CircleCI would be a candidate for that. What is the current go-to service for snapshot distribution that everyone uses?

[flaix]

Would a daily build into a Docker container, as proposed in #1232, cover this?

[flaix]

Nightly builds are now deployed as Docker images to Docker Hub under the gitblit/gitblit:nightly tag.

I am still not sure how to best handle nightly snapshot binaries. I am going to try and use Github actions artifact uploads. But I am not sure how accessible or discoverable that is. Another possibility would be Maven packages on Github, as the registry supports snapshot versions. Same question about how easy that is to use.

Really interesting. So you put it in releases along with the real releases. I'm not sure I am convinced yet, but it certainly does better with the linking issue than workflow artifacts. I'll have to think on that a bit. The question also is, if the Docker image would be enough or if there is value and interest in having binaries for download, too.
