We're checking if moving to Github Enterprise is a good thing, and how the migration experience is (mostly moving all the non-company user accounts to a company sso-backed user account). Any feedback appreciated

Not sure if this belongs here. But please Is there a way to restrict who can merge a pull request to particular member of the team.

Haven't tried this yet but interesting

Not sure if it belongs here but github dimmed appearance works for me the best. It’s a feature preview.

I’m trying to add labels to PRs with github CLI.
Docs state that PR is an issue
https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/#labels-assignees-and-milestones
And docs for issue state how to update issue with label
https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/#update-an-issue
But not yet sure how to do it for PR.

Anyone done it?

anyone create a custom github homebrew tap in a private repo ? getting authorization errors

I have a branch on which I have a significant amount of change that I want to "merge" back to master, but I want that branch to replace what's in master now, not merge into it. I think I can use the following to accomplish that for merging mybranch into master:

git checkout master
git merge -s theirs mybranch

I have also seen it suggested that i merge master into mybranch into master first, using -s ours and then merge mybranch into master.

Recommendations?

So the integration looks fairly simple for public repos. For private and internal repos however, RSS app requires basic auth. Is there a more secure way of setting up this integration ?

could use a github action using dependabot like loren suggests https://sweetops.slack.com/archives/CB6GHNLG0/p1593449185367400

Thank you Erik ! 🙂 I’ll check it out !

every repo has an atom feed for github releases

We use the built-in RSS app in slack for that. See #releases

In our team, we frequently create /update TF modules that we maintain in GitHub. There are several teams consuming these modules. I am looking for a Slack- GitHub integration so that whenever we release an update the notification is published to a Slack channel. I tried googling but did not find anything pre-existing. Has anyone solved for something like this before ?

how does everyone start new projects here ? do you have a git repository template ? do you use a skeleton creator ? or do you wing it like the most of us ?

trying to find good ways to create new repositories using sane defaults. id also like to see if repos are compliant with user defined rules if possible.

ideally - mirror syncs ever 15 min every branch and repo in org
- all repos remote is set to urls that point to github
- github problem is detected, all repos remotes dont have to change, the urls now redirect to the mirror
- devs change code in branches, commit, push code
- devs still have access to pr system, comments, etc
- github is no longer having issues, system now syncs differences with github
- urls now redirect back to github

basically a github enterprise onprem lol

with some logic to sync it with the cloud solution

ah ok seems like a good fallback for readonly

quite interested in smarter solutions though 🙂

yup, codecommit is just readonly mirror for cases you need to deploy

or is codecommit only intended to be a readonly mirror ?

and when things are committed to codecommit instead of github, how do you pull those changes back to github ?

how does the mirror switch between github and aws codecommit ?

makes sense so when github is down or intermittent, are all of your remotes sent to the sync'ed mirror

for each repo separately

we run that once per hour on a server

how do you do this for an entire org on github ?

how does the script run? is it a commit hook ?

extracted from ansible:
• you need to clone in mirror mode: git clone --mirror URL
• and set second remote to the repo: git remote set-url --push origin BACKUP_URL

you have to have a bare repo for that, maybe I'll find some doc...

we use simple script for backup to AWS CodeCommit:

$ cat git_sync.sh 
#!/bin/bash

FAIL=true

cd /home/ubuntu/$1 && git fetch origin --prune && git push --mirror && FAIL=false

if $FAIL
then
        /usr/local/bin/slack.sh "WARNING: hourly repository sync *failed!!!*..." "#alerts"
fi

wish we had a github backup for when they have issues. if we had something that synchronized all of our org, we could have our remotes all point to that which would redirect to github, but if github was having issues, it would point to its own cache until the issues get resolved.

does anything like that exist?

github being down for me right now is a bummer. God help those pipelines that have code that manually goes out and pulls resources from it as a regular (bad) practice. Pointed reminder to keep your build/deploy base containers cached in your container repos.

For those of you that mostly get gitflow but could use a visualization once in a while to grok the 10+ year old model that everyone seems smitten over: https://veerasundar.com/blog/2018/03/gitflow-animated/

The way I'm understanding Go modules it appears that git tags are pretty much mandatory for any real projects, anyone care to tell me that is a misconception?

Great article. It took some time for me come to some of the same realizations

Here's an example using a Makefile https://github.com/cloudposse/actions/blob/master/github/Makefile

Yea, submodules are a red-herring. They look like the "perfect solution" to meld poly repos into one repo as necessary, only very few know how to use them in practice. I confess having used them many times, but always forget the syntax and always regret it after the fact. The Makefile with a target to check out the repos is just so much more straight forward! 😃
