Migration Announcement: go-gitlab moves to GitLab.com

🗣️ Migration Announcement: go-gitlab moves to GitLab.com

We're excited to announce that this Go package previously hosted at github.com/xanzy/go-gitlab is moving to a new home at gitlab.com/gitlab-org/api/client-go! 🎉

-> When: soon, we'll provide an update in the coming days. 2024-12-10 at 14:00 UTC

What does this mean for you?

This migration will be straightforward:

• To continue using the package, simply update your import path and go.mod reference from github.com/xanzy/go-gitlab to gitlab.com/gitlab-org/api/client-go.
• No other breaking changes are expected.

Why the move?

This transition ensures better alignment with GitLab's ecosystem and simplifies maintenance. If you are contributing to this package you are most likely a familiar GitLab user already.

The project remains open source with the same license and community-driven, with ongoing contributions encouraged and welcomed.

Maintainers Update

Sander (@svanharmelen), the original author of the package, has stepped down and offered GitLab contributors to maintain it. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Sander for his amazing work in creating and maintaining this library! 🙏 Moving forward, Timo (@timofurrer) and Patrick (@RicePatrick) will continue maintaining the project to ensure its stability and growth.

Next Steps

• We'll update this issue with an exact date of the migration.
• Feel free to share your feedback and suggestions here in the issue.

Thank you for being part of this journey! We're looking forward to continuing the development of this library together with the vibrant Go and GitLab communities.

Happy coding! 🚀

- Timo
