Basic tools for mass-updates of certain GitHub repo settings:

• adding collaborators
• adding GitHub webhooks
• deleting GitHub webhooks based on simple filters
• naively adding a webhook to .travis.yml files

These tools require a token file to exist, containing a GitHub personal access token. Permissions: repo, admin:repo_hook. The token should be connected to an account with sufficient permissions to modify the repositories.

They try to be as conservative and safe as possible, but true safety is not guaranteed: these scripts may mangle your data if misused. They are quite simple if one wishes to verify.

Be sure to check -h for options.

Example

Adding a bot, and an instance of homu and highfive to 3 repos owned by user bar.

BOTNAME=foo
USERNAME=bar
REPOS=baz qux quz

HOMU_SECRET=abc123def456

HOMU=example.com:1000
HIGHFIVE=example.com:1001

# set the bot collaborator
./add-collab.py -u $BOTNAME -o $USERNAME $REPOS

# homu
# github:
./add-webhook.py -u "http://$HOMU/github" -e '*' -t 'json' -o $USERNAME -s $HOMU_SECRET $REPOS
# travis:
# assumes that the repos are in ./baz, ./qux, ./quz, and that all have
# a .travis.yml file already. It will commit and push the travis.yml
# change to origin/master.
./travis-webhook.py -u "http://$HOMU/travis" --git push $REPOS

# highfive
./add-webhook.py -u "http://$HIGHFIVE/newpr.py" -e 'pull_request' -e 'issue_comment' -t 'form' -o $USERNAME $REPOS
