Github Helper Scripts

Scripts created to help with bulk editing github repos. I created these to address a few specific use-cases I had. I have included more details below.

Configuration

You can use the config.sh filer to setup basic configuration for these scripts. Here are the variables you can configure:

organization="Your github organization or user name" (You must set this value for these scripts to work)

resultsLocation="Where should the output files go?" (default location is ./results)

detailedResultsLocation="Where should the very detailed files go?" (default location is ./results/pr-list)

prCreatedDate="Used when fetching PRs by time period"

prUpdatedDate="Used when fetching PRs by time period"

numberOfRandomItems"Number of random items to pull from the PR list" (default is 100)

Dependencies

These scripts have the following dependencies:

• Github CLI (required for all scripts) (easy install with: brew install gh)
• JQ (required for most scripts) (easy install with: brew install jq)
• coreutils (required for the write-random-lines script) (easy install with: brew install coreutils)
