zoekt-git-index: add -meta flag for repository metadata - #1148
Merged
Conversation
Add a -meta flag that points to a JSON file with a repository description, decoded into the shard's RepositoryDescription. This allows setting arbitrary metadata (and an explicit repo name) at index time without deriving everything from the folder name. - If the .meta file sets a Name, it takes precedence over the folder-derived name. - Expose Repository.Metadata in the web API's repo list so indexed metadata is visible via /api and the web UI.

thanks! Don't think we had a way to set this field via a command in this repo. Was added by GitLab which wraps the builder API directly. cc @binarymason
