Python scripts for managing GitHub repositories and branch protection using the GitHub REST API.

Lists all repositories in a GitHub organization and exports them to private.list and public.list.

python list_repos.py <organization_name>

Protects main branches of repositories listed in a file with pull request requirements.

python protect_branches.py <repo_list_file>

1. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Set GitHub token:
   • Environment: export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token
   • File: echo "your_token" > github-token.txt

• Requires pull requests for main branch
• Code owner reviews required (if CODEOWNERS exists)
• Repository owners can bypass restrictions
• No minimum approval count
• Allows force pushes and deletions

# List all repos in organization
python list_repos.py nexomis

# Protect repositories from a list
python protect_branches.py test.list
python protect_branches.py private.list

Repository list files contain one repo per line:

owner/repo1
owner/repo2

• Python 3.6+
• GitHub token with repo scope
• Admin access for branch protection
