Today, we are pleased to announce the availability of new version of Scala based Git platform GitBucket 4.6!

Add disable option for forking

New option to disable repository forking has been available.

Add History button to wiki page

History button has been added to wiki pages. In 4.5 or before, History button was available in only wiki page editing form.

Git repository URL redirection

To improve external tools (like Jenkins) integration, GitHub like repository URL has been available.

For example,

http://localhost:8080/user1/gitbucket.git

a URL above is redirected to below:

http://localhost:8080/git/user1/gitbucket.git

Get-Content API improvement

Get-Content API now supports files. It supported only directory in previous versions.

• API call:

  $ curl http://localhost:8080/api/v3/repos/user1/gitbucket/contents/project/build.properties
  

• Response:

  {
    "type":"file",
    "name":"build.properties",
    "content":"c2J0LnZlcnNpb249MC4xMy4xMgo=",
    "encoding":"base64"
  }
  

Further, it also supports custom media types. By adding the Accept header in the request, users can choose the format of responded data. If the Accept header is not passed, a JSON object including the Base64 encoded content will be returned.

• Raw:

  $ curl http://localhost:8080/api/v3/repos/user1/gitbucket/contents/project/build.properties \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.raw"
  

• HTML:

  $ curl http://localhost:8080/api/v3/repos/user1/gitbucket/contents/project/build.properties \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.html"
