Hyper for GitLab

What Hyper reads

Hyper keeps a searchable copy of the issues, merge requests, and wiki pages in every gitlab.com project that you are a member of, except archived projects. It copies issues and merge requests in every state, from all time. For each one, it copies the title, description, and up to 500 comments, but no more than about 30 KB of text in all. It does not copy system notes or internal notes. Confidential issues stay visible only to you in Hyper. In the 200 most active projects where you are a Maintainer or Owner, Hyper adds a webhook named Hyper, so it gets changes within minutes. It checks all projects about every 10 minutes. When you ask, Hyper can also read anything else that you can see in GitLab, such as code, commits, pipelines, CI/CD variables, and access tokens.

What Hyper can do

Create, change, close, and delete issues, merge requests, comments, labels, milestones, and wiki pages. Approve and merge merge requests. Run, retry, and cancel pipelines. Create, protect, and delete branches. Cherry-pick and revert commits, and delete files. Manage members, CI/CD variables, and access tokens. Delete a whole project. Upload a file from your computer, one at a time, to link in an issue or comment. Hyper cannot add or change files in a repository, create projects or groups, or change a project's name, visibility, or main settings. Hyper asks you before each action, unless you chose to always allow that kind of action. It always asks before it uploads a file.

Before you connect

Hyper can read everything that you can see in GitLab, including private projects, CI/CD secrets, and access tokens. Everything that Hyper does shows your name, and GitLab notifies the people who are assigned, mentioned, or who watch a project. Maintainers of a project can see the Hyper webhook in its settings. A deleted project stays for 30 days, and an Owner can restore it in that time. A deleted issue is gone for good. Anyone who can write an issue, merge request, or comment can add text that hides instructions that try to trick an assistant, so check each change before you approve it.
