Bulk edit repos

[Bluscream]

Let me explain a little background, recently i was sued by some company and the police didn't tell me more than that it was about some "github repo". In order to be cooperative and increase my chances of the lawsuit being dropped i decided to not delete my account but rather get github premium and make all my repos private until i get information what repo this stuff is about. After purchasing premium i was shocked to see that it doesn't apply to all organisations (i have many repos outsourced) and that i can't bulk edit my stuff. The police was kind enough to tell me that it was one of the repos on my account so i was not worried about the orgs anymore but i had to go through the process of editing the setting of 200+ repos by hand which was kind of a pain in the ass and took me some time but i did it anyway for legal reasons. Now that the case has been dropped i don't need github premium anymore, i had more time and a free head to think about it. I contacted github support about that and asked them why there is no way to bulk edit your stuff because the FAQ states that i will loose all private repos when my gh premium status gets revoked for whatever reason. They said they can't do sh*t and gave me some API endpoints, but i don't feel confident enough to do anything with it so i wanted to ask you if you could help me (and maybe others that want to switch from premium to free and have a bunch of repos on private) by creating something to convert multiple repos at once. I don't really care if it's a "bot" or a website or a userscript.

Hi @Bluscream!

I don't have any private repos, so I don't know the process of converting repos from private to public. I wouldn't think it would be difficult. I'm not sure how I can help.

[Bluscream]

I can give you temporary access to my account if that helps :)

[Mottie]

LOL, no don't do that.

I saw this documentation - https://help.github.com/articles/making-a-private-repository-public/

If you need a userscript to fill in the input, just give me the id of that input.

[Bluscream]

If you need a userscript to fill in the input, just give me the id of that input.

Wouldn't that only make 1 repo public?

anyway:

input of repo name:

<input class="form-control input-block" autofocus="" required="" pattern="[oO][bB][sS]-[cC][oO][nN][fF][iI][gG]|[bB][lL][uU][sS][cC][rR][eE][aA][mM]/[oO][bB][sS]-[cC][oO][nN][fF][iI][gG]" aria-label="Type in the name of the repository to confirm that you want to change the visibility of this repository." name="verify" type="text">

box: with button:

<li class="Box-row">
          

      <details class="details-reset details-overlay details-overlay-dark">

Ok, try this:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        GitHub Add Repo Name to Change Visibility
// @version     0.1.2
// @description A userscript that adds your repo name to the visibility dialog
// @license     MIT
// @author      Rob Garrison
// @namespace   https://github.com/Mottie
// @include     https://github.com/*
// @run-at      document-idle

// ==/UserScript==
(() => {
	"use strict";

	function addName() {
		const name = document.getElementById("rename_field");
		if (name) {
			document.querySelector("form[action$='toggle_permission'] .input-block").value = name.value;
			const btn = document.querySelector("form[action$='toggle_permission'] .btn-danger");
			btn.removeAttribute("disabled");
			btn.removeAttribute("data-disable-invalid");
		}
	}

	document.addEventListener("ghmo:container", addName);
	addName();
})();

And yes, it will only work on one repo at a time... I haven't looked to see how to automate the action using the API as I don't have any way to test the code.

What's your email?

[Mottie]

It's on my bio page: https://github.com/Mottie

I really don't want access to your accounts.

Sorry to chime in @Bluscream but something does not sound right to me in what you're describing as I have legal experience and any "suit" (and you seemed to be stating that the police served you) would clearly have provided (it's the law) the "complaint" which would have had to detail at the very least what software product it involved.

Just my opinion Rob but IMO, I too would be VERY skeptical of touching his repos in any way because to me, barring additional details, it sounds much more like a pending criminal investigation than a typical lawsuit - and probably NOT something anyone else needs to get involved with right now and muddy the water.
