Damned lies has an API and your script could use it. If the API is not enough, we can extend it.

Where is it documented?

https://wiki.gnome.org/DamnedLies#XML_interfaces

It doesn’t have any workflow actions exposed yet (so no commit), but that can probably be added.

 

Is it compatible with bash scripts?

It is a Web API. From bash you can use e.g. curl to make the calls.

 

I've been using this script for several years without any problem, also mi Git access, and never received any disclaim about it, but thanks if I fixed a wrong string in docs... if game rules have changed due to gitlab migration maybe someone should explain them clearly...

Don’t act as if we never said anything about trying to reduce direct repository access. We have always been trying to avoid giving access unless really necessary, and done everything we could to reduce cases where it was necessary.

Rules have not changed, we just now have betters tools to enforce them.

 

and then I could explain why this script is very useful for translators :-)

I’m not claiming it is useless, but it is not the right way to do it.
