Manage your Github repo(s) settings and secrets using Github Actions and a yaml file

This action manages your repo from a yaml file. You can manage:

• branch protection
• labels
• repos
• secrets
• repo settings
• Files

See examples/settings.yml for an example config file. The schemas for this file are in repo_manager.schemas.

File management can copy files from your local environment to a target repo, copy files from one location to another in the target repo, move files in the target repo, and delete files in the target repo.

File operations are performed using the Github BLOB API and your PAT. Each file operation is a separate commit.

This feature is helpful to keep workflows or settings file in sync from a central repo to many repos.
