Code hosting integrations

Weblate integrates with code hosting sites in several separate places: repository access, incoming notifications, and pushing translations back. The exact setup depends on whether you use Hosted Weblate or run your own Weblate instance, and on whether Weblate should push directly or create pull requests.

Use this page as a provider-oriented checklist. The individual setting pages remain the canonical reference for setting syntax.

Setup overview

  1. Grant Weblate access to the repository.

  2. Configure Forráskód tároló so Weblate can clone the repository.

  3. Configure incoming notifications so Weblate pulls changes soon after a push. The repository webhook or app must point to the matching Weblate hook URL, and the project must have Hookok engedélyezése enabled.

  4. Decide how Weblate should push translations back:

    • Use Git or Mercurial and Tároló feltöltési URL to push directly.

    • Use a provider-specific VCS backend, such as GitHub or GitLab, to create pull or merge requests. These backends need API credentials in the Weblate settings.

  5. Optionally set Feltöltési ág when Weblate should push to a branch in the upstream repository instead of using a fork where supported.

Változások feltöltése Weblate-ből

Each translation component can have a push URL set up (see Tároló feltöltési URL), and in that case Weblate will be able to push changes to the remote repository. Weblate can also be configured to automatically push changes on every commit; this is enabled by default, see Feltöltés véglegesítéskor (Push on commit).

If you do not want changes to be pushed automatically, you can push manually under Repository maintenance or using the API via wlc push.

In case you do not want direct pushes by Weblate, there is support for GitHub módosítási kérelmek (pull request), GitLab egyesítési kérelmek (merge request), Gitea módosítási kérelmek (pull request), Pagure egyesítési kérelmek (merge request), Azure DevOps egyesítési kérelmek (pull request), or Gerrit review requests reviews. You can activate these by choosing GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Gerrit, Azure DevOps, or Pagure as Verziókezelő rendszer in Összetevőkonfiguráció.

Overall, following options are available with Git, Mercurial, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Pagure, Azure DevOps, Gerrit, Bitbucket Data Center and Bitbucket Cloud:

GitHub

GitHub repository access

There are two main approaches to accessing GitHub repositories with Weblate:

Option 1: HTTPS with personal access token

Use HTTPS authentication with a personal access token and your GitHub account. This works for both read-only access and read-write access.

To use this approach:

  1. Create a personal access token as described in Creating an access token for command-line use.

  2. Include the token in your repository URL: https://username:token@github.com/owner/repo.git.

This is suitable when you are starting with Weblate or working with a single repository.

Option 2: SSH with a dedicated user

For setups with multiple repositories, create a dedicated user for Weblate. This avoids GitHub’s limitation that each SSH key can only be used once per platform.

To use this approach:

  1. Create a dedicated GitHub user account, for example weblate-bot.

  2. Add Weblate’s public SSH key to this user, see Weblate SSH-kulcs.

  3. Grant this user access to all repositories you want to translate.

  4. Use SSH URLs for your repositories: git@github.com:owner/repo.git.

This approach is also used for Hosted Weblate, which has a dedicated weblate user for that purpose.

Megjegyzés

When using GitHub for pull requests, the Feltöltési ág configuration affects the behavior: if not set, the project is forked and changes are pushed through a fork. If set, changes are pushed to the upstream repository and the chosen branch.

GitHub notifications

A Weblate natív támogatást nyújt a GitHubhoz.

If you are using Hosted Weblate, the recommended approach is to install the Weblate app. The app delivers GitHub notifications to Hosted Weblate, so you do not need to configure a separate Webhook in GitHub. However, it does not by itself grant Hosted Weblate write access to the repository. To push changes back, you still need to add the Hosted Weblate weblate GitHub user as a collaborator with write access, see Tárolók elérése a Hosted Weblate szolgáltatásból.

If you are not using the app, add the Weblate webhook in the repository settings (Webhooks) to receive notifications on every push to a GitHub repository, as shown on the image below:

../_images/github-settings.png

A Payload URL (adatküldési URL) a Weblate címe után /hooks/github/ útvonallal bővül, például Hosted Weblate esetén: https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/github/.

You can leave other values at default settings. Weblate can handle both content types and consumes just the push event.

GitHub módosítási kérelmek (pull request)

Ez egy vékony réteget ad a Git fölé, a GitHub API segítségével, amely lehetővé teszi, hogy a fordítási változások módosítási kérelemként kerüljenek feltöltésre, ne közvetlenül a tárolóba.

Git pushes changes directly to a repository, while the GitHub backend creates pull requests. The latter is not needed for merely accessing Git repositories.

To create pull requests, select GitHub as Verziókezelő rendszer and configure GITHUB_CREDENTIALS. For GitHub.com, use api.github.com as the API host. The token must allow Weblate to read and write repository contents and create pull requests. If Weblate should fork private repositories, the token might also need administration access.

GitLab

GitLab repository access

Access via SSH is possible, see SSH-tárolók, but if you need to access more than one repository, you will hit a GitLab limitation on allowed SSH key usage because each key can be used only once.

Ha a Feltöltési ág nincs beállítva, a projekt egy másolatba (fork) kerül, és a módosítások ezen a másolaton keresztül kerülnek feltöltésre. Ha be van állítva, a módosítások közvetlenül a forrás tárolóba és a megadott ágra lesznek feltöltve.

Using personal or project access tokens is possible as well. The token needs write_repository scope to be able to push changes to the repository. The project access token requires Developer role for pushing.

The URL needs to contain a username. For a personal access token, it is the actual username: https://user:personal_access_token@gitlab.com/example/example.git. For project access tokens it can be a non-blank value: https://example:project_access_token@gitlab.com/example/example.git.

Megjegyzés

The rules for using project access tokens have changed between GitLab releases, the non-blank value is the current requirement, but older versions had different expectations (project name, bot user name). Check GitLab documentation matching your version if unsure.

GitLab notifications

Weblate has support for GitLab hooks. Add a project webhook with destination to /hooks/gitlab/ URL on your Weblate installation, for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/gitlab/.

Hibaelhárítás

GitLab egyesítési kérelmek (merge request)

This adds a thin layer atop Git using the GitLab API to allow pushing translation changes as merge requests instead of pushing directly to the repository.

There is no need to use this to access Git repositories, ordinary Git works the same, the only difference is how pushing to a repository is handled. With Git changes are pushed directly to the repository, while the GitLab backend creates a merge request.

To create merge requests, select GitLab as Verziókezelő rendszer and configure GITLAB_CREDENTIALS.

Gitea, Forgejo, and Codeberg

For Hosted Weblate repositories on Codeberg, add the hosted weblate user where write access is needed, see Tárolók elérése a Hosted Weblate szolgáltatásból.

Gitea notifications

Weblate has support for Gitea webhooks. Add a Gitea Webhook for Push events event with destination to /hooks/gitea/ URL on your Weblate installation, for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/gitea/. This can be done in Webhooks under repository Settings.

Forgejo notifications

Weblate has support for Forgejo webhooks. Add a Forgejo Webhook for Push events event with destination to /hooks/forgejo/ URL on your Weblate installation, for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/forgejo/. This can be done in Webhooks under repository Settings.

Bitbucket

Hosted Weblate has a dedicated weblate user for Bitbucket access, see Tárolók elérése a Hosted Weblate szolgáltatásból.

To push directly, use Git or Mercurial with Tároló feltöltési URL.

Bitbucket notifications

Weblate has support for Bitbucket webhooks. Add a webhook which triggers upon repository push, with destination to /hooks/bitbucket/ URL on your Weblate installation, for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/bitbucket/.

../_images/bitbucket-settings.png

Bitbucket Data Center módosítási kérelmek (pull request)

Added in version 4.16.

This adds a thin layer atop Git using the Bitbucket Data Center API to allow pushing translation changes as pull requests instead of pushing directly to the repository.

Figyelem

Ez nem támogatja a Bitbucket Cloud API-t.

There is no need to use this to access Git repositories, ordinary Git works the same, the only difference is how pushing to a repository is handled. With Git changes are pushed directly to the repository, while the Bitbucket Data Center backend creates a pull request.

To create pull requests, select Bitbucket Data Center as Verziókezelő rendszer and configure BITBUCKETSERVER_CREDENTIALS.

Bitbucket Cloud módosítási kérelmek (pull request)

Added in version 5.8.

This adds a thin layer atop Git using the Bitbucket Cloud API to allow pushing translation changes as pull requests instead of pushing directly to the repository.

Figyelem

Ez eltér a Bitbucket Data Center API-tól.

There is no need to use this to access Git repositories, ordinary Git works the same, the only difference is how pushing to a repository is handled. With Git changes are pushed directly to the repository, while the Bitbucket Cloud backend creates a pull request.

Azure DevOps

Azure Repos notifications

Weblate has support for Azure Repos webhooks. Add a webhook for Code pushed event with destination to /hooks/azure/ URL on your Weblate installation, for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/azure/. This can be done in Service hooks under Project settings.

Azure DevOps egyesítési kérelmek (pull request)

Ez egy vékony réteget ad a Git fölé, az Azure DevOps API használatával, hogy a fordítási módosításokat közvetlen feltöltés helyett, egyesítési kérelemként lehessen beküldeni.

Gerrit review requests

Gerrit support adds a thin layer atop Git using the git-review tool to allow pushing translation changes as Gerrit review requests, instead of pushing them directly to the repository.

The optional Feltöltési ág setting selects the target branch for the Gerrit review. Leave it empty to use Tároló ág. Use the short branch name, such as main; Weblate and git-review push the review to refs/for/<branch> automatically. Do not include Gerrit push options such as %submit or %l=Code-Review+2 in the branch name.

The Gerrit documentation has the details on the configuration necessary to set up such repositories. There is no separate code hosting credential setting for this backend.

Docker credentials

For Docker installations, code hosting API credentials can also be provided through environment variables, see Kódtároló oldalak hitelesítő adatai.
