Allow vue-create Presets to Target Github Enterprise

[matsieftw]

What problem does this feature solve?

My company uses github enterprise so the preset we want to target is not located on github.com, gitlab.com, or bitbucket.com.

I would like to be able to run the command vue create --preset <url to my company's private github instance> or some other mechanism to indicate the domain.

What does the proposed API look like?

vue create -preset <domain>/repo_name

We are aware of and are using the workaround of having the generator repo pulled down locally, but this means that the user will need to manage their local repo in order to use the generator. By adding a way to set up the domain to use Github Enterprise, we can ensure developers are consistently using the same, most up-to-date version of the generator.

I think it's already supported. Since this feature is built on top of download-git-repo, it's possible to use urls in the form of direct:ssh://[email protected]/group/projectname.git. There's also an example on the documentation page now:

# self-hosted repos
vue create --preset gitlab:my-gitlab-server.com:group/projectname --clone my-project
vue create --preset direct:ssh://[email protected]/group/projectname.git --clone my-project

So far, that command has not worked for me. I'm not using Gitlab. I am using Github enterprise. Using the direct ssh method does not appear to work.

I get Failed fetching remote preset and Error: 'git clone' failed with status 128

Is the --clone flag correctly added?
If so, it may be a bug in https://github.com/flipxfx/download-git-repo

[matsieftw]

Yes. The clone flag is correctly added. This feature does not work.

Can this ticket be re-opened since it wasn't actually fixed and was closed before any confirmation was made over whether it was fixed?

[haoqunjiang]

You should rather report it to download-git-repo, though.

And I personally don't have access to a GitHub enterprise server, so there's much I can help you with.

for whom it may concern: as a workaround, i created a dedicated CLI tool to ease the process of cloning templates/presets hosted on enterprise/private repositories and storing them locally.
