This repository contains a CLI application ghs (GitHub Scripts), that you can use for day-to-day filtering and operations that you might need to do as a contributor or developer at AmLight. This tool and the GitHub related information on this repository are meant to facilitate dealing with the following points:

• Provide progress visibility for a specific GitHub label of an organization
• Manage GitHub label creation of an organization and its repositories
• Filter issues and pull requests of repositories given a label and available states such as open/closed
• Standardize certain labels that our team should typically use to facilitate scope planning and prioritization

This labels.md document provides information about how labels are being used for overall organization, planning, version releases, prioritization, and how to search issues using GitHub web search.

If you need to do bulk operations on GitHub such as creating labels or if you need to search or perform other operations from a terminal ghs can help with that, by interfacing with GitHub API. If you need a new functionality that will be used periodically, it's worth adding a function and command for it.

Pre requisites:

• Make sure you have Python 3.9 (this is the current version being supported)
• Activate your virtualenv

To install ghs:

• pip install -e .

After that, you should have ghs available in your PATH once you source your shell.

GitHub API is public, it doesn't require authentication, but for certain operations like creating and deleting resources like labels you'll need to use and create a personal authentication token. Once you have the token, export this GH_TOKEN environment variable with your token value.

ghs --help

• List all labels of all repositories of an organization:

ghs org_repos_labels kytos-ng

• List specific labels of certain repositories (flow_manager, mef_eline) of an organization:

ghs org_repos_labels kytos-ng --included_repos="['flow_manager', 'mef_eline']" --included_labels="['documentation']"

• Create a label on all repositories of an organization (kytos-ng):

ghs org_repos_labels_create kytos-ng 2022.2 --description="Kytos-ng 2022.2"

• Create a label on specific repositories (flow_manager, topology) of an organization (kytos-ng):

ghs org_repos_labels_create kytos-ng 2022.2 --description="Kytos-ng 2022.2" --included_repos="['flow_manager', 'topology']"

When deleting a resource, ghs will always require explicit values to avoid unexpected deletions but there aren't any confirmations, so if you're going to delete, make sure to make a get operation first to confirm the values that would be targeted.

• Delete label xyz on all repositories of an organization (kytos-ng):

ghs org_repos_labels_delete kytos-ng "['xyz']"

• Delete label xyz on specific repositories (flow_manager) of an organization (kytos-ng):

ghs org_repos_labels_delete kytos-ng "['xyz']" --included_repos="['flow_manager']"

The search functionality accepts and passes all parameters to GitHub GET /search/issues, so all upstream query parameters are supported. Keep in mind that GitHub search API returns at most 1000 results, so if you have a broad search expression it'll return partial results.

• Search kytos-ng 2022.2 labelled issues:

ghs search 'org:kytos-ng label:2022.2 is:issue'

To check progress of the number of issues, the response will have a stats property that shows the number of open and closed issues and the progress (closed/open), so any progress that you are interested in checking you can have it when you narrow down the filter accordingly.

  "stats": {
      "closed": 1,
      "open": 3,
      "progress": 0.3333333333333333
