I am a pre-final year student (expected graduation month - June 2023) studying Computer Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India. I participated in GSoC’21 with coala open-source organization. My project, GitMate for coala, aimed to improve and upgrade the GitHub and GitLab workflow bot, GitMate. The major focus of this project was to upgrade dependencies for GitMate and the underlying Git abstraction library IGitt, activate GitMate for community use, fix CI/CD pipelines, improve and enhance documentation, improve the frontend of the GitMate webapp and lastly, introduce new plugins in GitMate.

Almost everything went smoothly. This was my first time working on issues related to deployment, so figuring out how to solve these was both a challenge and a great learning opportunity. Writing the reviewer plugin, especially the tests, was also a little tough.
GitMate backend still needs to be deployed so that GitMate can be activated for the community. Also, documentation still need to be improved.
