Configure your GitHub repository from a file, without having to click around in the UI.
Project description
About
Configure your GitHub repository from a file, without having to click around in the UI.
Install
github-file is on PyPI, so all you have to do is:
$ pip install github-file
Usage
First, you will need to provide your GitHub credentials through the environment. Since github-file uses python-dotenv you can do so by creating a .env file with the following contents:
GITHUB_USER=your_username
GITHUB_PASS=your_password
Next, you will need to create a valid Githubfile. Here’s an example of one:
[core]
owner = jacquerie
repo = github-file
description = Configure your GitHub repository from a file,
without having to click around in the UI.
topics = github, configuration, file
[features]
has_issues = true
has_projects = false
has_wiki = false
[merges]
allow_squash_merge = false
allow_merge_commit = false
allow_rebase_merge = true
The meaning of these options is explained in GitHub’s API documentation, although not all the options are currently supported (in particular you currently can’t archive the repository or configure the default branch.)
Finally, running
$ github-file update -f Githubfile
will update the configuration of your GitHub repository so that it matches what is described in the file. Note that if you don’t provide a filename it will look by default in .github/Githubfile.
