# Repo Manager via Github Actions
## Description
Manage your Github repo(s) settings and secrets using Github Actions and a yaml file
## Usage
This action manages your repo from a yaml file. You can manage:
* branch protection
* labels
* repos
* secrets
* repo settings
* Files
See [examples/settings.yml](./examples/settings.yml) for an example config file. The schemas for this file are in [repo_manager.schemas](./repo_manager/schemas).
### File Management -- Experimental
File management can copy files from your local environment to a target repo, copy files from one location to another in the target repo, move files in the target repo, and delete files in the target repo.
File operations are performed using the Github BLOB API and your PAT. Each file operation is a separate commit.
This feature is helpful to keep workflows or settings file in sync from a central repo to many repos.
### Example workflow
```yaml
name: Run Repo Manager
on: [workflow_dispatch]
jobs:
repo-manager:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v5
name: Checkout
- name: Run RepoManager
uses: step-security/gha-repo-manager@v1
with:
# Apply your settings to the repo, can also be check to just check repo settings vs your file or validate, to validate your
# file is valid
action: apply
settings_file: .github/settings.yml
# need a PAT that can edit repo settings
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_PAT }}
```
