Progressively enhance git-refs (original) (raw)

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Instead of our managers needing to be so "platform aware" (e.g. setting github-tags as a datasource) it would be better if we could set git-refs and then let the datasources progressively enhance the results.

This would help us avoid the 1000 tag limit, etc.

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

• git-refs gets the raw list of refs using git (including using auth as necessary)
• if the host is detected as a GitHub one, it then piggy backs to github-tags for more details, which in turn piggy backs to github-releases

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

Maybe
