**Git Backporter**, also referenced as **bper**, is a [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/) command line tool that provides capabilities to *backport* pull requests (on *GitHub*) and merge requests (on *GitLab*) in an automated way. This tool also comes with a predefined *GitHub* action in order to make CI/CD integration easier for all users.

`git-backporting` is a tool that provides capabilities to *backport* pull requests (on *GitHub*) and merge requests (on *GitLab*) in an automated way.
> *What is backporting?* - backporting is an action aiming to move a change (usually a commit) from a branch (usually the main one) to another one, which is generally referring to a still maintained release branch. Keeping it simple: it is about to move a specific change or a set of them from one branch to another.

This tool is released on the [public npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/), therefore it can be easily installed using `npm`:

> **NOTE**: if you want to download version 3 or older you must use the older package name `@lampajr/bper` instead of `@kie/git-backporting`.
Then you just have to choose the pull request (or merge request on *Gitlab*) that you would like to backport and the target branch and the simply run the following command:
```bash
$ bper -tb <branch> -pr <pull-request-url> -a <git-token>
$ git-backporting -tb <branch> -pr <pull-request-url> -a <git-token>
```
A real example could be the following one:
```bash
$ bper -tb develop -pr https://github.com/kiegroup/git-backporting-example/pull/47 -a *****
$ git-backporting -tb develop -pr https://github.com/kiegroup/git-backporting-example/pull/47 -a *****
```
This is the easiest invocation where you let the tool set / compute most of the backported pull request data. Obviously most of that data can be overridden with appropriate tool options, more details can be found in the [inputs](#inputs) section.
> **NOTE**: if you are still using version 3 or older you must use the older CLI tool name `bper` instead of `git-backporting`.

Right now **Git Backporting** supports the following git management services:
* ***GITHUB***: Introduced since the first release of this tool (version `1.0.0`). The interaction with this system is performed using [*octokit*](https://octokit.github.io/rest.js) client library.
* ***GITLAB***: This has been introduced since version `3.0.0`, it works for both public and private *GitLab* servers. The interaction with this service is performed using plain [*axios*](https://axios-http.com) requests. The *gitlab* api version that is used to make requests is `v4`, at the moment there is no possibility to override it.

## Repository Migration
From version `v4.0.0` the project has been moved under [@kiegroup](https://github.com/kiegroup) organization. During this migration we changed some things that you should be aware of. I'll try to summarize them in the following table:
> **NOTE**: these changes did not affect the tool features.
| | **v4 (after migration)** | v3 or older (before migration) |
|-------------|--------------------------|--------------------------------|
| Owner | kiegroup | lampajr |
| Repository | git-backporting | backporting |
| NPM package | @kie/git-backporting | @lampajr/bper |
| CLI tool | git-backporting | bper |
So everytime you would use older version keep in mind of these changes.
> **REMARK**: since from capabilities point of view `v3.1.1` and `v4.0.0` are equivalent we would recommend to directly start using `v4`.
