Automate repo permissions

Overview

Teams can require access to repositories with different levels of access. The tool with the help of few inputs will Provide bulk access for teams to the mapped repositories in the excel file. With each release, the updated exe is available.

Current Challenges

  • When a large number of repositories are migrated to GitHub, we will need to give access to each migrated repo to the relevant team
  • The process becomes repititive, when there are 100s of repositories

Benefits

  • The process can be completed in one shot with an excel file which has the repository names, teams and permissions mapped
