CLI to replace HTTP GET on GitHub API with clones

GHAPI-conversion

CLI to replace HTTP GET on GitHub API with clones.

Why

In GitHub Actions the macOS machines share the same IP range, meaning that users will come against the GitHub quota often. https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/602

To overcome this issue, use this tool instead of pip install -r. This tool clones rather than GETs:

• https://api.github.com/repos/<org>/<repo>/zipball#egg=<package_name>
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<org>/<repo>/<branch>/<file>

Additionally, it reuses already cloned repos.

Install package

PyPi

pip install ghapi-conversion

Development

Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt
# On Python 2.7, `pip install mock` in order to run the tests without error

Install package

pip install -e .

Usage

$ python -m ghapi_conversion --help

usage: __main__.py [-h] [--version] (-r FILE | -l LINK)

                        can be used multiple times.
  -l LINK, --link LINK  Clone instead of HTTPS GET a
                        `https://api.github.com/repos/<org>/<repo>/zipball` or
                        `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<org>/<repo>/<branch
                        >` link.

Alternatives
