-- cgit commit-filter that turns git object names and configurable text
-- references in commit messages into links. Use it with the commit-filter or
-- repo.commit-filter setting and the lua: prefix.
--
--     commit-filter=lua:/path/to/link-commits.lua
--
-- cgit hands the filter the message already HTML-escaped, so this only wraps
-- matches in anchors. No external dependencies. Runs on Lua 5.1 through 5.4
-- and LuaJIT.
--
-- Two kinds of thing are linked, object names (runs of hex that look like git
-- hashes) and any number of text-reference rules you define, each a pattern
-- and a URL. Both are configured in the block below. All matches are resolved
-- in a single left-to-right pass, so nothing is ever linked twice.

--
-- ===== CONFIGURATION =====
--

-- Object names (git hashes). Handled specially, because the length rule cannot
-- be written as a plain Lua pattern.
--
-- Recognition is by shape, since a commit-filter cannot ask the repository
-- whether a hash is real. Any hex run within the length bounds is linked,
-- whatever mix of digits and letters it has, so abbreviated and all-digit
-- hashes are both caught. The cost is that a long hex-looking number can now
-- and then link to an object that does not exist, which cgit renders as a
-- harmless "bad object name" page. Shape matching is inherently approximate,
-- the length bounds are the only filter.
local objects = {
	-- Set false to stop linking bare hashes.
	enabled = true,
	-- A hex run within these lengths is linked. Git abbreviations run about 7
	-- to 12 characters, full names are 40 (sha1) or 64 (sha256).
	min_length = 7,
	max_length = 64,
	-- Link target, %s is replaced with the matched hash. "./?id=%s" is relative
	-- to the current page and works for the common virtual-root layout.
	url = "./?id=%s",
}

-- Text-reference rules. Each rule is a Lua pattern with ONE capture and a URL
-- where %s is replaced by that capture, percent-encoded. The whole match is
-- shown, the capture is what goes in the URL. Rules are tried in order and the
-- leftmost match on the line wins, so put more specific patterns first. Leave
-- the list empty to link only object names.
--
-- Lua patterns are not regular expressions. There is no alternation and no
-- {n,m} repetition. %d is a digit, %a a letter, %w a letter or digit, %x a hex
-- digit, and a literal magic character is escaped with %, so a literal '-' is
-- '%-'. Reference: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.4.1

	{ pattern = "#(%d+)", url = "https://bugs.example.com/?bug=%s" },

	-- { pattern = "!(%d+)",               url = "https://gitlab.example.com/group/repo/-/merge_requests/%s" },
