How to streamline my Magit workflow?

How to streamline my Magit workflow?

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

I am using Magit with BitBucket (don't judge me - my company uses BB,
I'd probably prefer something else).  When I push (with Magit, of
course), BitBucket responds with some info on the command line (I
suppose it uses Git hooks under the hood, but that is not important
here).  What is important is that I can parse that output to get the URL
I need to visit in my browser to open a pull request.

Now, I'd like to streamline my workflow.  Instead of pressing `$',
finding that URL and copying it to my browser, I'd like to either have
it done automatically after a push or triggered with a custom command.

So, my questions are:

1. How can I access the "magit process buffer" of the repo I'm in from
Elisp?

2. Is there some hook which runs after a (Magit) push is completed?

TIA,

Hi Marcin,

never used, and maybe known to you already, but isn't this fulfilled by (or
buildable on top of) the Magit's Forge extension
(https://magit.vc/manual/forge/index.html)? It seems to (partially?)
support Bitbucket.

ciao, lele.

To get something to fire once the process completes, you could latch
onto magit-process-sentinel (or magit-process-finish, which is called by
magit-process-sentinel).  For example, something like

  (defun my/magit-open-pr-after-push (process event)
    (when (and (memq (process-status process) '(exit signal))
               (= (process-exit-status process) 0))
      (let ((buf (process-buffer process))
            (section (process-get process 'section)))
        (when (buffer-live-p buf)
          (with-current-buffer buf
            (message "%s"
                     (buffer-substring-no-properties
                      (oref section content)
                      (oref section end))))))))
  
  (advice-add 'magit-process-sentinel :after #'my/magit-open-pr-after-push)

where (message ...) is replaced by code that calls browse-url if a PR
link is found.

You may want to also advise the particular magit-push-* command you use
to process-put a flag so the output search isn't triggered for other
async Magit commands.

My company uses BB too, I usually just open the browser to create a PR.

I think the best that could be done is to extend magit-forge with BB
support, however there were some issues with that as BB has no support
to predict the PR refs. https://github.com/magit/forge/pull/198

Yes BB runs a post-receive hook on their server to send you this
message.

Magit doesn't run any hook only git would do. But I think you mean
magit-hook, you could try C-h m RET and see if any of the hooks could
help you.

The best you can do is to parse the output of git push.

I'm not sure about properly parsing the bitbucket response, but I do have this in my init to make URLs in the process buffer clickable, which streamlines the process a little.

(add-hook 'magit-process-mode-hook #'goto-address-mode)

> 2. Is there some hook which runs after a (Magit) push is completed?

I didn't find anything useful when I was trying to solve this same problem. Ended up settling just for using goto-address-mode, at least until I have time/spoons to revisit it.
