This GitHub App syncs repository settings defined in `.github/settings.yml` to GitHub, enabling Pull Requests for repository settings.
## Usage
1. **[Install the app](https://github.com/apps/settings/installations/new)**.
2. Create a `.github/settings.yml` file in your repository. Changes to this file on the default branch will be synced to GitHub.
All settings are optional.
```yaml
repository:
# See https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#edit for all available settings.
# The name of the repository. Changing this will rename the repository
name: repo-name
# A short description of the repository that will show up on GitHub
description: description of repo
# A URL with more information about the repository
homepage: https://example.github.io/
# Either `true` to make the repository private, or `false` to make it public.
private: false
# Either `true` to enable issues for this repository, `false` to disable them.
has_issues: true
# Either `true` to enable the wiki for this repository, `false` to disable it.
has_wiki: true
# Either `true` to enable downloads for this repository, `false` to disable them.
has_downloads: true
# Updates the default branch for this repository.
default_branch: master
# Either `true` to allow squash-merging pull requests, or `false` to prevent
# squash-merging.
allow_squash_merge: true
# Either `true` to allow merging pull requests with a merge commit, or `false`
# to prevent merging pull requests with merge commits.
allow_merge_commit: true
# Either `true` to allow rebase-merging pull requests, or `false` to prevent
# rebase-merging.
allow_rebase_merge: true
# Labels: define labels for Issues and Pull Requests
labels:
- name: bug
color: CC0000
- name: feature
color: 336699
- name: first-timers-only
# include the old name to rename and existing label
oldname: Help Wanted
# Collaborators: give specific users access to this repository.
collaborators:
- username: bkeepers
# Note: Only valid on organization-owned repositories.
# The permission to grant the collaborator. Can be one of:
# * `pull` - can pull, but not push to or administer this repository.
# * `push` - can pull and push, but not administer this repository.
# * `admin` - can pull, push and administer this repository.
permission: push
- username: hubot
permission: pull
- username:
permission: pull
```
**WARNING:** Note that this app inherently _escalates anyone with `push` permissions to the **admin** role_, since they can push config settings to the `master` branch, which will be synced. In the future, we may add restrictions to allow changes to the config file to be merged only by specific people/teams, or those with **admin** access _(via a combination of protected branches, required statuses, and branch restrictions)_. Until then, use caution when merging PRs and adding collaborators.
This app is open source. Check out [probot/settings](https://github.com/probot/settings) to suggest improvements or run your own instance.
