Automatically create GitHub accounts, import source code, and add collaborators

1. Check teams

If you are using a team file, you can use check_teams.py to check if one student is included in multiple teams (which is not allowed). teamtemplate.csv is a template for team file.

python check_teams.py $teamfile

2. Create Github repos

Before creating repos, you need to config those fields in autocreat_github.conf

• netrc_file
  • the uname/password file for github login, create the file following netrcc-template
• github_init_repo  - the initial code repo from which the generated repos will import code -org_name
  • coure organization
• repo_prefix
  • name prefix of the generated repos

main.py is the script for generating a repo, import source code, and add collaborators. You can run by

python main.py --team="geoff tianyin karthik"

or

python main.py --team-file="$team_file"

Before you do that, you need to do some configurations at autocreat_github.conf, rename netrcc-template to netrcc and put your github account/pw there (don't upload the new netrcc). Also, this script is hard-coded for FA16 class, and if you want to reuse, you need to rename some of the URLs.

For logging, you can dump into a local file.

python main.py --team="geoff tianyin karthik" | tee run.log
