ghad v0.2.0

ghad: The GitHub Administration Tool

ghad is a command-line tool for managing a large number of GitHub repositories. It currently allows you to:

• Archive repositories that haven't been updated in a specified number of days
• Enable security alerts for vulnerable dependencies
• Enable automated security fixes

It can be run manually, or set up to run from a continuous integration system - see the CircleCI configuration.

Setup

1. Install Node.js 10+.
2. Create a token.
3. Clone this repository.

4. Set your GitHub token.

   export GITHUB_TOKEN=...

5. View the documentation.

   npx ghad --help

Example usage

1. Run the script as a dry run.

   npx ghad archive --org <something>

2. To actually archive repositories:

   npx ghad archive --org <something> --apply

The --org is optional. See npx ghad archive --help for more info.

Usage in TTS

ghad is run across TTS GitHub repositories through the @tts-bot. See the CircleCI configuration.

Warning: Keep write access to this repository restricted. The associated GitHub token is that of an Owner, so being able to run arbitrary commands in CI allows privilege escalation.
