About
=====

Configure your GitHub repository from a file, without having to click around in
the UI.

Install
=======

``github-file`` is on PyPI, so all you have to do is:

.. code-block:: console

$ pip install github-file

Usage
=====

First, you will need to provide your GitHub credentials through the
environment. Since ``github-file`` uses ``python-dotenv`` you can do so by
creating a ``.env`` file with the following contents:

.. code-block:: shell

GITHUB_USER=your_username
GITHUB_PASS=your_password

Next, you will need to create a valid ``Githubfile``. Here's an example of one:

.. code-block:: ini

[core]
owner = jacquerie
repo = github-file
description = Configure your GitHub repository from a file,
without having to click around in the UI.
topics = github, configuration, file

[features]
has_issues = true
has_projects = false
has_wiki = false

[merges]
allow_squash_merge = false
allow_merge_commit = false
allow_rebase_merge = true

The meaning of these options is explained in `GitHub's API documentation`_,
although not all the options are currently supported (in particular you
currently can't archive the repository or configure the default branch.)

Finally, running

.. code-block:: console

$ github-file update -f Githubfile

will update the configuration of your GitHub repository so that it matches what
is described in the file. Note that if you don't provide a filename it will
look by default in ``.github/Githubfile``.
