Features

Creation of GitHub repository

When authentication is provided, a repository will be created on GitHub, assuming one does not already exist.

Configuration of GitHub Repository Settings

This plugin configures repository settings by generating the settings file for use by repository-settings/app. The settings in the file will be applied, along with those in the account-level file, once the generated file is pushed to GitHub in the default branch, assuming you have the repository-settings app installed for your account.

Usage

Installation

$ npm install @form8ion/github --save-prod

Enabling actions against the GitHub API

This plugin leverages the .netrc strategy for octokit. Be sure to add your personal access token to leverage the GitHub API integration benefits of this plugin.

Enabling repository configuration with repository-settings/app

• Be sure to install for the user or organization account that you are scaffolding the new project for.
• Enable the settings app for all repositories in the account

Account-level settings

The settings file generated by this tool assumes that it is extending an account level config

• Ensure that you have created a .github repository in your account
• Create an account-level settings file in the .github repository at the location .github/settings.yml within the repository
  • for an organization account, this is a good example
  • for a user account, this is a good example

Example

Import

import any from '@travi/any';
import {lift, promptConstants, scaffold, test} from '@form8ion/github';

Execute

const projectRoot = process.cwd();

await scaffold(
  {
    projectRoot,
    projectName: 'foo',
    visibility: any.fromList(['Public', 'Private']),
    description: any.sentence()
  },
  {
    prompt: async ({id}) => {
      const {questionNames, ids} = promptConstants;
      const expectedPromptId = ids.GITHUB_DETAILS;

      if (expectedPromptId === id) {
        return {[questionNames[expectedPromptId].GITHUB_ACCOUNT]: any.word()};
      }

      throw new Error(`Unknown prompt with ID: ${id}`);
    }
  }
);

if (await test({projectRoot})) {
  await lift({
    projectRoot,
    vcs: {owner: 'account-name', name: 'repository-name'},
    results: {
      projectDetails: {homepage: any.url()},
      tags: any.listOf(any.word),
      nextSteps: any.listOf(() => ({summary: any.sentence(), description: any.sentence()}))
    }
  });
}
