archive-repo

Captures and stores data about a GitHub repo for archival purposes

Archive command

usage: python3 -m archive-repo archive [-h] [--reference [REFFILE]] [--issues-only] [--quiet] repo githubToken [outFile]

Archive repo issues and PRs.

positional arguments:

• repo: The GitHub repository to fetch, e.g. "quicwg/base-drafts"
• githubToken: A token for a GitHub account with permission to read the selected repository; see https://github.com/settings/tokens
• outfile: Where the output should be written; if omitted, stdout is used.

optional arguments:

• -h: Displays help text
• --reference: Optionally, previous output of this script. Makes the new run faster, since only new/changed issues and PRs need to be fetched.
• --issues-only: Only fetch issues, not PRs
• --quiet: Only write errors to stderr; otherwise, status is written to stderr

Note that providing an output file can make processing faster if the respository has not changed since the reference file was generated.

Generate PR Branches

usage: python3 -m archive-repo pr_branches [-h] [--include-merged] [--dry-run] input repo git_dir

Identify the source repos and forks of PRs from an archive, creating local branches as needed

positional arguments:

• input: Archive file generated by python3 -m archive-repo archive
• repo: Target GitHub repo
• git_dir: Local directory with git repo (default: local directory)

optional arguments:

• -h: Display help message
• --include-merged: include merged PRs in analysis
• --dry-run: Show what would be done, without making any changes
