It helps to: 1) create new repository on Github 2) manage repositories permissions 3) keep all organization repositories configuration in yaml files in one directory 4) configure webhooks for Github repo 5) configure branch protection rules 6) many others

See Wiki for full documentation.

Demo

Quickstart

1. Download gitstrap CLI (see Install section)
2. Get configuration from any of your repositories or from this one: gitstrap get --owner=g4s8 gitstrap > repo.yaml
3. Edit YAML config (see Specification reference)
4. Create or update you repository with gitstrap apply -f repo.yaml

Install

First you need to install it.

To get binary for your platform use download script:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/g4s8/gitstrap/master/scripts/download.sh | sh

On MacOS you can install it using brew tool:

brew tap g4s8/.tap https://github.com/g4s8/.tap
brew install g4s8/.tap/gitstrap

Alternatively, you can build it using go get github.com/g4s8/gitstrap

Get GitHub token

To use gitstrap you need GitHub token. Go to settings (profile settings, developer settings, personal access token, generate new token): https://github.com/settings/tokens/new and select all repo checkboxes and delete_repo checkbox (in case you want gitstrap to be able to delete repositories). You may use this token as CLI option (gitstrap --token=ABCD123 apply) or save it in ~/.config/gitstrap/github_token.txt file.
