Provide single feed for all activity

[gitblit]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 342

Currently I can follow the acticity in each specific repository using the feed that
gitblit provides for that repository. However, I'd prefer to have a single feed that
contains the activities of all repositories instead.

Motivation:

  1. We have a large number of repositories, so subscribing to all of their
     feeds is a lot of work.

  2. If I only subscribe to existing repositories then I don't notice new
     repositories that are created.

Just to clarify, I'd like to see such a "global activity" feed in addition to the existing
feeds, not as a replacement.

Thanks for the awesome work on gitblit, by the way!

The term "feed" is overloaded.  Can you be specific here?  Do you mean an html page
"feed" or an rss "feed"?  This is unclear to me.

Sorry. I was talking about RSS/Atom.

Hey folks, I know this thread is nearly 10 years old, but we have been interested in the exact same feature OP is requesting here, and found this thread while trying to investigate whether such a thing was currently possible - so I wanted to take a moment and voice agreement with the OP that this would be an extremely helpful feature.

Each individual Repo provides an RSS/Atom style feed in /feed/reponame.git, accessible right from the repo's landing page:

This is helpful, but these repo-specific feeds only give us information about changes to Master - plus, as OP said, subscribing to each repo's individual feed is a lot of work, and the feeds don't provide information about new repos being created, etc.

Like OP said, what would be extremely useful was if there was a subscribable RSS/Atom style feed similar to the ones provided at /feed/reponame.git, except that it is equivalent to the content displayed on the project's "Activity" page. Essentially: it would be helpful if the "Activity" page provided its own subscribable RSS/Atom style feed, like Repos and branches do:

Activity page

Activity page with a subscribable feed

If it were possible to implement this, I think this is something a lot of folks would find extremely helpful. As the OP said - thanks for all your awesome work on Gitblit!
