GitHub Organization Manager

Test suites REUSE status The latest version of GitHub Org Manager can be found on PyPI. Information on what versions of Python GitHub Org Manager supports can be found on PyPI.

A lightweight tool that helps with managing a GitHub organization, its members, teams, repository permissions and more.

The basic principle: all settings reside in YAML configuration files which will be made effective during a run of this tool.

Features

  • Manage GitHub organization owners
  • Manage GitHub teams, their members, maintainers and settings
  • Support of parent/child teams
  • Manage teams' permissions on organizations' repositories
  • Invite members to the organization if they aren't part of it yet
  • Warn about unmanaged teams
  • Warn about organization members who are not part of any team
  • Handle individual collaborator permissions to repositories

The tool's philosophy:

  • All relevant configuration shall happen in the YAML configuration files, no actions in GitHub UI shall be necessary.
  • All repository permissions shall be managed by team membership. Outside collaborators and individual permissions are discouraged.
  • All teams shall be managed by this tool. While it can deal with unmanaged teams, it's not a priority and may cause warnings.

Install

Dependencies: Python 3.10 or newer

To install: pip3 install github-org-manager

You may also want to consider using helpers such as pipx to avoid a dependency mess on your system.

Afterwards, the tool is executable with the command gh-org-mgr. The --help flag informs you about the required and available commands.

Configuration

Inside config/example, you can find an example configuration that shall help you to understand the structure:

  • app.yaml: Configuration necessary to run this tool
  • org.yaml: Organization-wide configuration
  • teams/*.yaml: Configuration concerning the teams of your organization.

You may also be interested in the live configuration of the OpenRail Association's organization.

Run the program

You can execute the program using the command gh-org-mgr. gh-org-mgr --help shows all available arguments and options.

Synchronisation examples:

  • gh-org-mgr sync -c myorgconf: synchronize the settings of the GitHub organization with your local configuration in the given configuration path (myorgconf). This may create new teams, remove/add members, and change permissions.
  • gh-org-mgr sync -c myorgconf --dry: as above, but do not make any modification. Perfect for testing your local configuration and see its potential effects.
  • gh-org-mgr sync -c myorgconf --debug: the first example, but show full debugging information.

Setup team examples:

  • gh-org-mgr setup-team -n "My Team Name" -c myorgconf: Bootstrap a team configuration for this team name. Will create a file myorgconf/teams/my-team-name.yaml, or provide options if this file already exists.
  • gh-org-mgr setup-team -n "My Team Name" -f path/to/myteam.yaml: Bootstrap a team configuration for this team name and will force to write it in the given file. If the file already exists, offer some options.
