Repository Creation and Access

How it works

To create the respective repository, the tool sends requests to GitHub api endpoints, Provide teams with access to the created repository and create project and project columns when specified. The information on teams and team permissions is extracted from a pre-written csv file.

Required Inputs

• Team Names for providing repository access
• Name of the repository and description to be given
• Organization Name and GitHub PAT
• Name of the project to be added to the repository and column names of the project
• CSV file for Team names and permissions mapped to each of the teams

CSV Source

Create an csv file listing the teams and the access levels to be established for the repository to allow multiple team access with different permissions. The tool will search for this excel file and give the listed teams access to the repository. Check below for the sample.

Run with command line

Clone the repository and run the below commands.

• Install the required modules

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Run the autocreate script with the following command and give the required inputs

python git_autocreate.py
``

- Run the autocreate script with the following command all in a single line

python git_autocreate.py -t token -o orgname -v repovisibility -r reponame -f "./team_permissions.csv" -d "repo description" -p projectname -c "column1,column2,column3"

[or]

python git_autocreate.py --Token token --Organization orgname -Visibility repovisibility --Repository reponame --File "./team_permissions.csv" --Description "repo description" --Project projectname --Columns "column1,column2,column3"

- Provide the required inputs.
