Phabricator site search is pretty useless all and all. 75% of the time
I can't even find the bugs I'm looking for, and its more effective to
go the the project's workboard and hit ctrl+F in my browser.

As for git, I almost never want to actually look at it online. But
when I do, I'll probably just end up going to the github mirror...

We could redirect  to a page on mediawiki.org
that includes a list of the most popular repositories, with links to the
various options for browsing the repository (Phabricator Diffusion and
GitHub, at least). I'd be opposed to yet another micro-site.

I'm also fine with  just redirecting to
, which is the current plan
according to . This allows
logged-in users to customize the default query. Similar to Maniphest,
Diffusion will use the top-sorted custom saved or built-in query as the
application's start page.

Phabricator site search includes repositories. I agree that parts of
Phabricator, including the repository index at
, can be annoying to find
currently.

The Git repositories are also mirrored to GitHub, of course. Many people
are already on GitHub for other projects and seem to enjoy, or at least
tolerate, its user interface. I wonder if we have an index of Git mirrors.

It's also possible for anyone to set up their own online Git repository
browser (e.g., GitLab or Gogs) or contribute patches upstream to
Phabricator Diffusion to add missing features.

Can we have a static website at git.wikimedia.org with some dev curated
phab links to the most important projects ?

Is this being tracked anywhere? This used to work… Searches such as

have worked for me previously

I hear this with dismay. When I wanted to view the repository online in 
the past, I always ended up heading to git.wikimedia.org, since I was 
unable to *find* the repository at phabricator.

At most, phabricator showed a somewhat related diffusion commit.

Gitblit may not be the most suited software regarding technical 
stability, but diffusion is far from having an acceptable UI,

I'm afraid.

[Wikitech-l] git.wikimedia.org (Gitblit) going away on June 29th, redirected to Phabricator

== How could this affect me? ==
Potentially, you use an unpopular (in the sense of not used often)
feature of Gitblit that is not supported in Diffusion. This should be
unlikely.

Potentially, a link you follow that pointed to somewhere on
git.wikimedia.org will not redirect correctly. This is also unlikely as
we (mostly @Danny_B and @Paladox) took great care to update many
mediawiki.org templates along with providing very robust redirect
rules[2]. If you find one that isn't working, please let us know (along
with the original url and, if possible, the desired target in
Diffusion).

One known issue to call out: Diffusion does not list commits by person.
However Differential (the code-review tool) does this (not just for new
commits). There is no easy/maintainable way to redirect those,
unfortunately.

Something else broken? Please file a task in Phabricator in the
#Diffusion project[3].

Thanks,

helped along the way (and Ops!))
