Watch-gh-repos NPM

watch-gh-repos

Watch, unwatch, or ignore GitHub repositories

This tool allows you to automatically set the 'Watch this repo' command, normally done through the GitHub.com user interface, programmatically, either from your CLI or from your JavaScript code. This is ideal in cases where you have dozens of repos to watch or unwatch, and don't want to cycle through everything to find them.

Install

> npm i watch-gh-repos

Usage

const watchGhRepos = require('watch-gh-repos')

watchGHRepos({'watch': 'RichardLitt/watch-gh-repos', 'token': someToken})
 .then((res) => {
   console.log(res) // Watch all the things!
 })

Options

-g, --get Get repo watching details
-i, --ignore Ignore notifications from a repository
-o, --org Specify all repositories from an organization or user
-r, --ratelimit Skip checks making sure GitHub repo is valid (Skips 1 hit per repo)
-t, --token A Personal Access Token for GitHub. You need scopes notifications and repos.
-u, --unwatch Unwatch instead of watch
-w, --watch Specify a repo

CLI

You will need a token. You can pass this token in through the command line using the --token flag, or by setting it in your env as WATCH_GH_REPOS. This token needs the scopes notifications and repos to be enabled.
