gadenbuie / branchmover Goto Github PK

We don't currently store the issue body anywhere, so coming back to the app resets the issue. If we instead persisted the text somewhere longish term, we could find it again when the user comes back to the app later.

Especially important in the case of #1

I'm seeing Error in reactable: `columns` names must exist in `data` when I run the app.

It looks like the problem is that the columns issue, state, created_at, and issue_url don't (necessarily?) exist in repos_df:

Basically, create the issue but do nothing else. Coming back to the app a week or so later the issue would be rediscovered and the action can be completed.

user <- gh::gh("/users/rstudio")
user$type
#> [1] "Organization"

Knowing the user type we can then query /orgs/{org}/repos instead of /users/{user}/repo with type = "all". https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos#list-organization-repositories

branchMover fixed all my public repos like a champ, but I'm a bit confused about my private repos.

[main] > branchMover::app()

Listening on http://127.0.0.1:5644
ℹ @sellorm has 149 total repositories (including forks)
• 71 public repos
• 78 private reps
ℹ Found 30 branch mover issues:
✓ 30 are closed
ℹ 71 non-fork repositories have the following default branches:
✓ main: 71 repos
ℹ You have admin rights on 71 repos

This feels like it's telling me I don't have admin rights on my private repos. Or maybe I did something wrong or branchMover doesn't support private repos?? Could you clarify?

If you're not working out of the user's primary local copy, as this app does not, there is no need to clone the repo and call usethis::git_default_branch_rename(). You could just call the GitHub API directly and change the default branch. Here:

I don't think you're gaining anything by cloning and, in fact, it's rather costly. There's the actual clone, which gets thrown away, plus you get into matters of SSH vs HTTPS for the URL (currently I doubt this will work for someone w/o SSH keys).

It would be pretty interesting to use the app to explore an organisation's repos vs. those I own personally.

I think it's akin to the optional organisation argument in usethis::use_github().
