A set of tools to automate multiple GitHub repository management.

This is not an officially supported Google product.

As we publish Node.js client libraries to multiple repositories under googleapis, we need a set of small tools to perform management of those repositories, such as updating continuous integration setup, updating dependencies, and so on.

This repository contains some scripts that may be useful for this kind of tasks.

If you're not familiar with Node.js development you can still use the tools included as they don't require writing any Javascript code. Before running the scripts, make sure you have Node.js version 8+ installed (e.g. from here) and available in your PATH, and install the required dependencies:

$ npm install -g @google/repo

You need to make your own config.yaml and put your GitHub token there. You can set the path to the config file with the REPO_CONFIG_PATH environment variable:

$ cat /User/beckwith/.repo.yaml
---
githubToken: your-github-token
clonePath: /User/beckwith/.repo # optional
repoSearch: org:googleapis language:typescript language:javascript is:public archived:false

The repoSearch field uses the GitHub Repository Search syntax.

$ echo $REPO_CONFIG_PATH
/User/beckwith/.repo.yaml

Now you are good to go!

$ repo approve [--title title]

Iterates over all open pull requests matching title (this can be a regex, and all PRs will be processed if no regex for title is given) in all configured repositories. For each pull request, asks (in console) if it should be approved and merged. Useful for managing GreenKeeper's PRs:

$ repo approve 🚀

or all PRs with the word test in the title:

$ repo approve test

$ repo list [--title title]

Iterates over all open pull requests matching title (this can be a regex, and all PRs will be processed if no regex for title is given) in all configured repositories, and prints them.

$ repo list --title 🚀

or all PRs with the word test in the title:

$ repo list --title test

$ repo reject [--title title]

Iterates over all open pull requests matching title (this can be a regex, and all PRs will be processed if no regex for title is given) and closes them. For example, close all PRs with the word test in the title:

$ repo reject --title test

$ repo rename --title title 'new title'

Iterates over all open pull requests matching title (this can be a regex, and all PRs will be processed if no regex for title is given), and renames them.

$ repo apply --branch branch
             --message message
             --comment comment
             [--reviewers username[,username...]]
             [--silent]
             command

Iterates over all configured repositories, clones each of them into a temporary folder, and runs command to apply any changes you need. After command is run, git status is executed and all added and changed files are committed into a new branch branch with commit message message, and then a new pull request is created with comment comment and the given list of reviewers.

Please note that because of GitHub API does not support inserting multiple files into one commit, each file will be committed separately. It can be fixed by changing this library to use the low-level Git data API, your contributions are welcome!

$ repo check

Iterates all configured repositories and checks that each repository is configured properly (branch protection, continuous integration, valid README.md, etc.).

The tools listed above use the following libraries available in lib/ folder. Feel free to use them directly from your JavaScript code if you need more flexibility than provided by the tools. The files in samples/ folder can serve as samples that show library usage.

Iterates over all configured repositories, clones each of them into a temporary folder, and calls the provided function to apply any changes you need. The function must return a promise resolving to the list of files to create or modify. These files are committed into a new branch with the given commit message, and then a new pull request is created with the given comment and the given list of reviewers.

const updateRepo = require('./lib/update-repo.js');

async function callbackFunction(repoPath) {
  // make any changes to the cloned repo in repoPath
  let files = ['path/to/updated/file', 'path/to/new/file'];
  return Promise.resolve(files);
}

async function example() {
  await updateRepo({
    updateCallback: callbackFunction,
    branch: 'new-branch',
    message: 'commit message',
    comment: 'pull request comment',
    reviewers: ['github-username1', 'github-username2'],
  });
}

A function that applies the same fix to one file in all configured repositories, and sends pull requests (that can be approved and merged later by approve-pr.js or manually). Useful if you need to make the same boring change to all the repositories, such as change some configuration file in a certain way.

const updateFile = require('./lib/update-file.js');

function callbackFunction(content) {
  let newContent = content;
  // make any changes to file content
  return newContent;
}

async function example() {
  await updateFile({
    path: 'path/to/file/in/repository',
    patchFunction: callbackFunction,
    branch: 'new-branch',
    message: 'commit message',
    comment: 'pull request comment',
    reviewers: ['github-username1', 'github-username2'],
  });
}

A function that does pretty much the same, but to the file in the given branch in all configured repositories, and does not send any pull requests. Useful if you created a bunch of PRs using update-file.js, but then decided to apply a quick change in all created branches.

const updateFileInBranch = require('./lib/update-file-in-branch.js');

function callbackFunction(content) {
  let newContent = content;
  // make any changes to file content
  return newContent;
}

async function example() {
  await updateFileInBranch({
    path: 'path/to/file/in/repository',
    patchFunction: callbackFunction,
    branch: 'existing-branch',
    message: 'commit message',
  });
}

A simple wrapper to GitHub client API (@octokit/rest) that at least lets you pass less parameters to each API call.

A promisified version of readline.question to provide some primitive interaction.
