project commit resource

[lukegriffith]

As template repositories are an EE only feature, it would be handy to be able to IAC my repository templates. Having a commit resource that can be used on a project would enable me to template my repositories as code.

Looking for guidance on this, can happily implement myself too.

API provides a commit action. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/commits.html#create-a-commit-with-multiple-files-and-actions

and is implemented in the underlying go-gitlab library. https://github.com/xanzy/go-gitlab/blob/16ee0e484c173ddb8da2e798f2a3db0f7b34856e/commits.go#L217

Template projects are available in GitLab hosted, it would be nice to see something like this supported in the terraform provider.

What would you expect the DELETE operation to do? Should it create a revert?

[armsnyder]

@barundel as an fyi there is an issue and an open PR for templates #333

Let's keep this issue open for discussion a potential project commit resource.

@armsnyder & @timofurrer Can we close this based on #333, #927 and the PR https://github.com/gitlabhq/terraform-provider-gitlab/pull/724 being done?

[timofurrer]

Yes, I assume @lukegriffith that would solve your problem, right?

[timofurrer]

Because there wasn't any update on this issue and the problem statement can most likely be solved with the gitlab_repository_file resource I'm taking the liberty to close this issue. Please create a new one if this is still something people would want to see. I'd also be curious about the ideas for all the CRUD functions of a commit.
