Suppose you are managing a GitHub repository, and you need to know which users have been granted read access to it. This information might be crucial for monitoring repository access or managing collaboration permissions.

1. Set Up GitHub Personal Access Token:

   • foe running the script,we need to generate a personal access token from GitHub.We can create GItHub account settings, selecting "Developer settings," --> "Personal access tokens," and generat a new token with required permissions (at least repo scope is required for the script).

2. Set Up Script Variables:

   • Open the script folder (github-api) in a text editor.
   • Run the command (chmod 770 listing-user-in-project.sh).
   • Also the script need jq in the env , so Run this command to setup jq(sudo apt install jq - y)
   • Expor the values for USERNAME and TOKEN variables to your GitHub username and the personal access token you generated
   • Run the command (export username="YourGitHubUsername")for exporting uername.
   • Run the command (export token="YourGitHubPAT") for exporting the token.

3. Provide Repository Information:

   • Decide which repository you want to check for read access.

   • Call the script from the command line with the repository owner's username and the repository name as arguments. For example:

     bash listing-user-in-project.sh repo_owner repo_name

     Replace repo_owner and repo_name with the actual GitHub username and repository name, respectively.

4. Execute the Script:

   • Open a terminal or command prompt.

   • Navigate to the directory where the script file is located.

   • Run the script by typing:

     bash listing-user-in-project.sh repo_owner repo_name

     Replace repo_owner and repo_name with the actual GitHub username and repository name, respectively.

5. Review Output:

   • The script will make a request to the GitHub API and display a list of users who have read access to the specified repository.
   • If no users with read access are found, it will display a corresponding message.

6. Review Access Permissions:

   • Once the script finishes executing, review the list of users with read access to ensure it aligns with your expectations.
   • You can adjust repository permissions as needed through the GitHub interface.

By following these steps, you can easily identify users with read access to a GitHub repository using the provided Bash script.
