New database viewer

GitBucket had included H2 console to see data in the database for administrators. However it has some problems. For example, it’s not integrated with GitBucket, so we had to input username, password and jdbc url of the database. Also we couldn’t add our own features to it.

In this version, H2 console has been replaced with the new database viewer whoch is fully integrated with GitBucket.

Database viewer

If you prefer the previous H2 console, you can continue to use it by installing gitbucket-h2console-plugin.

Submodule links to web page

In previous versions of GitBucket, submocules were linked to their git repository url, but almost they can’t be shown by the browser. In this version, GitBucket links submodule to their web pages if it’s possible. For example, if a submdoule is a repository on GitHub, it’s linked to a repository viewer on GitHub.

Currently, it supports following repositories for submodule linking:

  • GitBucket (on the same instance)
  • GitHub
  • BitBucket
  • GitLab.com

Other repositories are linked to their git repositories as same as previous versions.
