Hey SCM-Manager Community,

we would like SCM-Manager to be accessible for as many users as possible. We aren't there, yet, but we have taken some major steps. Maybe the most obvious one: You can change your theme.

Accessibility

As well as it might seem so, our first goal was not…

Hey SCM-Manager community,

with release 2.19.0 we have prepared SCM-Manager for two new plugins we hope you will find useful: The SSL context plugin and the repository mirror plugin.

SSL Context Plugin

For a long time SCM-Manager offers lots of plugins providing connections to…

Hey SCM-Manager community,

A new release is ready, bringing avatars for repositories, health checks, and some more fixes, especially in plugins.

Repository Avatars

Ever got lost in an SCM-Manager with lots of repositories? Then it's time to allow your imagination run free: With the new avatar plugin you can set avatars for each repository. Either use the default avatar build from the first letters of the namespace and name, choose from a collection of different icons, or import your own image (jpeg, png, gif or…

Hey SCM-Manager community,

We have made some radical changes in the last releases, and sometimes this breaks things. So we have not come around of fixing some more or less minor bugs the last weeks. But of course we also have new nice features for you: To reveal internals, we…

Dear SCM-Manager community,

two weeks have passed, and again we have another SCM-Manager release: 2.12.0. We have four gifts for you, and one for us: Those of you using Mercurial can expect a much more simple setup, SVN users can now import SVN dumps, and all of you together can…

Dear SCM-Manager community,

today we released version 2.11.0 of SCM-Manager. Two big features are the import of git and mercurial repositories from URLs and the creation and deletion of tags after our changes to the branch views in the last release. Talking of branches: These are…

Hey there, another two weeks have passed (can you see the pattern?), and we proudly present release candidate 7 of SCM-Manager 2 to you. Besides a fix regarding repository write requests with anonymous access enabled and other small bugs, we have a new nice plugin for you: A new…

One of the core features of SCM-Manager is its extensibility with plugins. Installing, updating and removing plugins requires a restart of the SCM-Manager. And to be honest, we would not have thought this would be so hard.

After trying to destroy the complete context of the…

Over the years, SCM-Manager received a lot of attention and a lot of people had questions. Some of them led to issues on BitBucket, which were migrated to GitHub not long ago. With the release of SCM-Manager 2 getting closer, we would like to get rid of old issues, because we…

Release 2 of SCM-Manager brings a lot of changes, some small, some big. Besides the most obvious change, the completely new user interface, there is the new level 3 REST API, which took us a considerable amount of effort to create.

The new REST API allows scripts and other applications to “navigate” from the top level REST resource (/scm/api/v2) to every resource available and to change them: repositories, sources, configurations, and items from plugins like pull requests. Using the editor plugin it is possible, to add or change…
