Make the src(source) command optionally available to users if the owner of the bot decides to

[Silverdimond]

This could be for example used in open source bots like apple.py and etc.
If the code is already public why hide the command?

When we talked about this in the server I said that I could just check if the github attr was set in the config. Do you think that's a reasonable way to go about this? Otherwise I'd need a new field added in the database.

Another method I could go is to link to the repo's source code at the given line if it's not the owner calling the command (again using the github attr in the config) - this would prevent people using it to flood chat.

[Silverdimond]

I think the link idea is a good one as it does prevent flooding and hides the code from people that should not be able to view it, i am not sure how the github attr works but you should be able to do the same with other git providers (ex. GitLab, BitBucket and etc.)

[4Kaylum]

That's an interesting point. The attr is just a link to your repo in the config, but each different platform links to different lines in different ways. I hadn't considered that. I'd also need to guess the branch name. This throws a wrench in the works.

[Silverdimond]

You do not need to guess the branch name as you could just check what is the active (current) branch using something like GitPython or you could check it manually by running git branch --show-current, as for the difference platforms have with links to different lines it should easy to check what platform it is and to use a dictionary with the ways they handle lines, files and branches and to just use string.format with something that looks like

linkways = {'github': 'https://github.com/{username}/{repo}/blob/{commitsha}/{filepath}#L{linenumber}',
'gitlab': 'https://gitlab.com/{username}/{repo}/-/blob/{commitsha}/{filepath}#L{linenumber}'}

i am not sure if thats exactly how it should look like but i think it should look similar to it.

[irismessage]

He's right. Personally I would just check the HEAD file if it exists, and default to the default branch of the repo got from the api.

[4Kaylum]

I'll do some testing and see what works. Thanks for the information.

Any updates on this?

Nothing I can show for it. I lost interest, really. If the bot's open source then it's open source. Feel free to PR it but I'm not going to add it.
