The DEV Community Integration has two new updates, which improve the overall experience.
  • A new
    --historical-import
    flag has been added to the command-line interface (CLI) and to the GitHub Action template. The historical import option will send all comments from your DEV user and/or DEV organization to Orbit. You can use this flag to skip the regular filtering of DEV comments. It is encouraged to not use this flag regularly, only for a first-time import or if you know some data is missing from your Orbit workspace.
  • In addition, previously the integration filtered out all DEV comments older than one day before sending them to Orbit. Now, the integration checks dynamically for the latest DEV comment in your workspace, and only sends comments newer than that date.
The GitHub Action template for DEV has been updated with the latest instructions on how to leverage the
--historical-import
option. You can update your own action workflow using the latest instructions.
