Webhook Authentication through HMAC digests

gitlab-org/gitlab
rails rspec vue jest
in-progress

This issue was suggested to me as a feature that could significantly impact WebHook functionality. The issue had generated considerable discussion and interest, so I was excited to take it on. This feature involves a substantial amount of frontend work in Vue, requiring careful consideration from a user perspective. In the proof of concept I developed, I aimed to balance an intuitive UI with maintaining high security standards. Due to interest from other teams in utilizing a similar approach, my implementation created reusable components on both the front end and back end that are flexible enough to be used in other contexts. The next time we need to implement an HMAC digest for authentication, it will be much easier!

Tag pipelines and branch build pipelines are not being shown

gitlab-org/gitlab-vscode-extension
vscode-api typescript
in-progress

Working in the vscode-extension codebase presented a fun challenge of quickly learning a new API well enough to be productive in delivering new features. This particular feature offered significant opportunities for rethinking structures within the codebase and how those structures can evolve as we introduce more logic.

MR list command for groups can use reviewer and assignee filter

gitlab-org/cli
golang
closed

This was a bug in the GitLab CLI that prevented users from fetching a group's merge requests while using assignee and/or reviewer filters. I was able to fix the bug while also reorganizing some existing code to improve maintainability. Thanks to collaboration and brainstorming with @jhebden, we implemented a pattern for composable optional filters that works well with Golang's limited support for optional arguments.

Implement Idempotency-key for WebHooks

gitlab-org/gitlab
rails rspec
closed

Idempotency keys are a recent feature released in 17.3 that allow users to track the identity of webhook requests across retries. By providing a stable UUID that remains consistent across webhook retries, consumers of webhooks can ensure that side effects from webhook execution are idempotent. This was a fun feature to deliver that helped familiarize me with some of the integrations code in GitLab. I also deepened my understanding of how feature releases need to be communicated to end users through documentation and changelogs.

Remove HAML tabs from user profile

gitlab-org/gitlab
javascript rails
closed

This was my first contribution and introduction to the GitLab flagship codebase. As efforts to overhaul the navigation UI were underway, elements of the previous legacy navigation remained in parts of the user profile. I was able to remove this legacy code and greatly simplify the remaining legacy jQuery. This refactor touched a large amount of crucial code, so I had to be thorough in ensuring against regressions.
