About

We want to remove the octokit gem which is used by the GitHub importer and Gitea Importer.

The work includes:

  • Remove the octokit gem, middleware and patches.
  • Remove faraday-multipart which was added for octokit - being verified in #521811 (comment 2371922440).
  • Write a small HTTP client to interact with the GitHub API. All HTTP calls must use Gitlab::HTTP. With special handling of rate limits. Refactor Gitlab::GithubImport::Client. The API interactions must be neat and maintainable. Refactoring any error handling of Octokit errors. Support Pagination and GitHub Enterprise.
  • Similary, refactor Gitlab::LegacyGithubImport::Client used by Gitea
