Make REST API to adding new project in Jigit plugin

[Former user]

It is required to develop a REST API for adding new projects to the Jigit plugin. Please consider the possibility of such an exercise. We have 1500 GitLab projects and 70 Jira instances

Actually, the add-on already has got REST API which allows to manipulate its configuration. I’ve created an issue for documenting its endpoints.

Here is only one, which allows to add a new repository:

Endpoint URL: http://{URL:PORT}/{PATH}/rest/jigit/1.0/repo/add

Method: POST

Parameters:

1. repo_name - a name of a repo
2. url - address of a git server
3. service_type - type of a server. One of the values: GitLab, GitLab8 or GitHub
4. token - auth token
5. repo_type - type of repo, one of the values: SingleRepository or GroupOfRepositories
6. repository_id - repo identifier, usually consists of {username}/{reponame}
7. def_branch - default branch of the repo
8. index_all_branches - evidential, one of the values: true or false

For example, I’ve configured repo https://github.com/apanasevich/java-gitlab-api in my local JIRA via this:

curl -u admin:admin -d "repo_name=java-gitlab-api&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com&service_type=GitHub&token=my_prescious&repo_type=SingleRepository&repository_id=apanasevich%2Fjava-gitlab-api&def_branch=master&index_all_branches=false" -X POST http://localhost:2990/jira/rest/jigit/1.0/repo/add
