Geek alert

  • PLANET-4395 – Recreate Git hooks Gulp task in NPM
    • When moving from Gulp to Webpack we lost the Git hooks to link PRs with JIRA tickets. The dev team had to create a NPM task to copy files from .githooks/* to .git/hooks/ with mode 755 as in the old repos.
  • PLANET-4527 – Implement API endpoint for Blocks Usage
    • On the old blocks plugin we had a custom API endpoint for checking Blocks Usage. This is used by an external service to generate a report. The team re-implemented the same kind of API endpoint on the gutenberg-blocks api.
