Originally created by @Spongman on GitHub (Nov 10, 2020).

we have a CI system and we'd like to include links in the build emails that get sent out that include a link to the committer's gitea profile page. however, the CI system doesn't know about LDAP and/or gitea users, it just knows the user's email address (from the git commit) ...

can you please add a redirect URL that redirects from a gitea user's email address to their user profile?

eg. https://gitea.company.com/user/myemail@company.com?tab=... -> https://gitea.company.com/myuser?tab=...

I'm hesitant about this from a security standpoint, as it allows for email->user enumeration.

that's not an issue for us, our installation is entirely internal.

or how about a redirect from a commit hash to the author's profile? i just need a way to get from a git commit to a profile.

eg. http://gitea.company.com/Org/repo/commit/<hash>/author

Can use the API for this:

curl -X GET "https://try.gitea.io/api/v1/repos/mrsdizzie/testme/git/commits/9e1d206e4b" -H  "accept: application/json"

Response will have both author and committer information with a username you can use for creating a link

"author": {
    "id": 11691,
    "login": "mrsdizzie",
    "full_name": "",
    "email": "mrsdizzie@noreply.try.gitea.io",
    "avatar_url": "https://try.gitea.io/user/avatar/mrsdizzie/-1",
    "language": "",
    "is_admin": false,
    "last_login": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "created": "2019-02-21T06:32:17Z",
    "username": "mrsdizzie"
  },

the AP is a royal pain to use from a shell script, though. A redirect like i requested would be so much easier... oh well,.
