use the GitHub API to check an org's private repositories for potentially open-source licenses

License Checker

Use the GitHub API to find all private repositories owned by an organization which have license files (and hence may be granting an open source license to people who have access to the code).

Usage

• Create a GitHub personal access token. This should be made by a member of the organization who can see private repositories (e.g., a member of the Owners team).
• Place the access token in the file ~/.github.yml:

token: 1234567890feedfacedeadbeefcafe0987654321

• Bundle, and run the script, providing the github account name for your org:

$ bundle install --path vendor/bundler
$ bundle exec script/find-licensed-private-repos.rb your-org-name-here

You can also set the environment variable $DEBUG if you want more verbose output during the fetch process.
