FileMaintainer

Maintains files in your repositories so you don't have to.

Supports GitHub. Supports individual repositories, some/all repositories of a user(s), and some/all repositories of an organization(s). GitHub Enterprise is not directly supported, just list your organizations instead.

Changes are applied to the default branch. Updates are primarily made via the GitHub API; if this fails, Git will be used instead.

Requires a GitHub token in the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable with scopes: repo, workflow.

Install

Binary Installation

Download an appropriate binary from the latest release.

Manual Installation

git clone https://github.com/Octogonapus/FileMaintainer
cd FileMaintainer
go build
go install

Usage

Create a FileMaintainer.toml file, along with supporting files, like the example below. Then run FileMaintainer in the same directory as FileMaintainer.toml. Review the changes and apply them: FileMaintainer --dry-run=false.

Example FileMaintainer.toml

[remote.entire_org]
owner = "MyOrg" # owner signifies an organization
exclude_repos = ["SomeRepo"] # filter out some repositories by name

[remote.some_user]
user = "SomeUsername" # user signifies an individual user

[remote.julia_pkgs]
owner = "MyOrg"
repo_glob = "*.jl" # filter by repository name

[remote.single_repo]
owner = "MyOrg"
repo = "MyRepo" # select a single repository by name

[file.gitleaks]
path = "gitleaks/gitleaks.yml" # a local file in the same directory as this file
dest = ".github/workflows/gitleaks.yml" # the remote file path relative to the repository root
remotes = ["entire_org"]

[file.juliafmt]
path = "juliafmt/action.yml" # a local file in the same directory as this file
dest = ".github/workflows/formatter.yml" # the remote file path relative to the repository root
remotes = ["julia_pkgs"]
