in GitLab, a PR may be open while the branch itself has been removed. We cant just assume that the branch exists because the PR does, even if it’s an edge case.
Allow the `gitAuthor` configuration option to override the committer
property when creating or updating a file within GitLab. Port of #1280
which introduced the same capability for GitHub.
Closes#1281

Previously, our GitLab API library was checking if a a branch existed first before trying to create it. But due to caching, a branch we'd deleted ourselves still showed up as existing, so then there was no branch to update the files in. Skip this check and use try/catch for creating branch instead.
Fixes#1468
Adds a `renovate/verify` status check for those migrating and looking for familiarity. Better to check the GPG verified commit, as mentioned in the associated doc.
This PR updates Renovate to detect config validation problems and (1) stop processing, and (2) either raise an Issue if already onboarded, or (2) update the onboarding PR to reflect the error if still onboarding.
Closes#1300
Rename writeToken to forkToken to make it clearer. This enables GitHub API to use one token for all reads, and another token just for writing to the forked repository.
This PR adds the capability to run Renovate in a new "fork mode". This new mode must be configured by the Renovate admin, and cannot be configured within repositories themselves (for now). Example use: `renovate --autodiscover --fork-mode`
In this mode:
* Renovate will fork the repository if necessary (first run only)
* If the fork already existed, Renovate will ensure that its base branch is up to date with the source repository's
* Branches will be created within the fork, PRs will be created in the source
This PR adds the capability to specify a custom author for git commits on GitHub. Setting this field will mean GitHub uses this value for author and commit instead of the token’s identity. For instance if you are running hosted mode you may set the gitAuthor to “Renovate Bot <bot@renovate.com>” to have commits appear as coming from the renovate-bot account.
