GitHub permissions management through Ansible & Python

This repository manages the GitHub permissions for the SCS organization.

The CI is based on the great work contributed by OTC and OSISM.

Local usage

You can use the following procedure to test, debug or improve github manager on your local system.

• Installation

  git clone git@github.com:SovereignCloudStack/github-manager.git
  cd github-manager
  rm -rf ansible-collection-gitcontrol
  git submodule update --init --recursive
  python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
  python3 -m pip install pipenv wheel
  pipenv install
  pipenv run ansible-galaxy collection install git+https://github.com/opentelekomcloud/ansible-collection-gitcontrol.git
• Create a personal access token - classic (PAT) This should only have a short validity and must be renewed regularly. (The rights repo and admin:org are required)
• Execute Manager

  export API_TOKEN="<github-token>"
  pipenv run ansible-playbook playbook.yaml -e api_token=${API_TOKEN}
  
  # Debugging with Ansiballs: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/debugging.html
  ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES=1 pipenv run ansible-playbook playbook.yaml -e api_token=${API_TOKEN} -vvv
• Execute Consistency Check

  pipenv run ./check_consistency.py
  

Limitiations

• It is not possible to add already created, but still empty, repositories here. Before this is possible, at least one commit must have been made on the main branch.

• It is not possible to remove members from the organization or any team. Please first delete the corresponding lines in data.yaml here in this repository and delete the user afterwards via the GitHub UI.

We're working on these issues upstream: https://github.com/opentelekomcloud/ansible-collection-gitcontrol and https://github.com/opentelekomcloud-infra/gitstyring

Github Actions

For the Github Action workflows a repository secret GHP_{{github_username}} needs to be provided. i This should only have a short validity and must be renewed regularly. Add the created token of the second step in the topic "Local usage" to REPOSITORTY_SECRETS (Name: "GHP_<GITHUB_ID_IN_UPPERCASE>")

If the following error in the logs comes from Manage github repositoriesx the token has expired and must be renewed.
