GitHub Tools
Using the GitHub API to automate certain tasks.
Copying issues
Issues were not being copied over from a template repo we have. So that's the first task we fixed:
Example:
$ python -m ghtools --destination some_repo
Copying milestones ...
Result:
┏━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Status ┃ Milestone ┃
┡━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
│ ✅ │ Copied milestone Some milestone │
│ ✅ │ Copied milestone Some other milestone │
│ ✅ │ Copied milestone A third milestone │
└────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Copying issues ...
Result:
┏━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Status ┃ Issue ┃
┡━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
│ ✅ │ Copied issue Issue Feature 1 │
│ ✅ │ Copied issue Some other issue │
│ ✅ │ Copied issue Yet another issue │
└────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Config
You can set the following environment variables:
$ more .env-template
GITHUB_REPO_TOKEN=
REPO_OWNER=
SOURCE_REPO=
DESTINATION_REPO=
GITHUB_REPO_TOKEN and REPO_OWNER are required. We only support the same owner for source and destination repos at this point.
Source and destination repos can be given from the command line, if omitted the script will look at the SOURCE_REPO and DESTINATION_REPO environment variables.
Usage options
You can also chose to only copy milestones or issues:
$ python -m ghtools --help
Usage: python -m ghtools [OPTIONS]
Copy milestones and issues from source to destination repo
