Introduction

shepherd is a bot that will configure repositories for GitHub orgs who have multiple repositories, and want to ensure that a main "maintainer" team owns the repositories within that org. This project is heavily inspired by pepper.

Features

shepherd has the following features to herd your org repositories to be the same, like sheep:

• shepherd will check for and create a CODEOWNER file (by creating a PR) into your protected branch. The created CODEOWNER file depends on the "maintainer" team configuration.
• shepherd will set your specified branch (default: master) to be protected
• shepherd will ensure that your protected branch will need required reviews from CODEOWNERS configured by the PR mentioned above

It is useful to note that shepherd will not:

• configure status checks on your repository. This is because status checks are unique, or different per repo.
• overwrite an existing CODEOWNERS file. This is because shepherd gives you the flexibility to configure multiple CODEOWNERS on different code paths (without adding complexity to the tool)

Quick Start

Assuming you have created a team within your org named "core-maintainers". You can run the following set of commands

docker pull quay.io/srizzling/shepherd:latest
docker run quay.io/srizzling/shepherd:latest -token <GITHUB_TOKEN> -maintainer core-maintainers -org test
