repository hosting platform about ci-env

Passing the platform makes more sense to me 🙂

@siddharthkp - one quick question. The generic environment variables for custom ci , how do get them?
Actually I'm thinking of using CI_REMOTE_REPO_URL for the repo url. Please let me know if it's okay.

I don't think it's useful to use repo url, platform would be better (example: github, gitlab, bitbucket, etc.)

So in the case of custom, it would be CI_PLATFORM

Sorry, I didn't put my question correctly. Actually most of CI platforms provide repo url environment variable and i'm thinking of extracting the platform using regular expression. So I asked for the CI_REMOTE_REPO_URL.
I'm thinking of using this pattern const pattern = new RegExp(/https:\/\/([a-z]+)/i).

Ah, understood!

I think in custom CI, we follow the rule of directly asking for the information we need. So it makes more sense to ask for ci platform rather than ask for URL and then infer it.

Yes, I think that will be good idea. Thanks
