Allow to pass github user/project from options

[egoist]

Currently it's using the output of:

typedoc/src/lib/converter/plugins/GitHubPlugin.ts

Line 51 in eff1699

let out = <ShellJS.ExecOutputReturnValue> ShellJS.exec('git ls-remote --get-url', {silent: true});

However it might be not defined in a continuous deployment environment like netlify.com so the link to source file isn't working.

A flag like --gitRemote https://github.com/user/project would help.

Here's a workaround if you're using Netlify, run following command first in your build command:

git remote add origin [email protected]:$user/$repo.git

Sounds like a good suggestion. PRs are welcome. Should be able to add an option in that GitHubPlugin file.

Seems to already been implemented => #843

@artentica That adds support for different github host names. I don't believe it supports different user logins though.

In seing the title i undestand it correspond to this:

typedoc/src/lib/converter/plugins/GitHubPlugin.ts

Line 34 in eff1699

gitHubUser: string;

Wich is only few month old

True, I misunderstood this issue. I think the remaining issue is that that is pulled from git ls-remote --get-url. However, looking at the workaround @egoist posted, I do think that we should be able to close this.

I don't think setting the remote is always enough. The issue is that different users may have different setups.
