solidation is a Python program for producing a Markdown report of recent issue & pull request activity across a set of GitHub repositories.

Usage

solidation [<options>]

solidation reads from a configuration file (solidation.yaml by default, though a different one can be specified with the -c/--config option) and outputs a Markdown report to standard output. It is recommended to set a GitHub API token to use for API requests via the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.

Options

• -c <FILE>, --config <FILE> — Specify the configuration file to use; defaults to solidation.yaml. See "Configuration" below for details.

• -l <LEVEL>, --log-level <LEVEL> — Set the log level to the given value. Possible values are "CRITICAL", "ERROR", "WARNING", "INFO", "DEBUG" (all case-insensitive) and their Python integer equivalents. [default value: INFO]

Configuration

The configuration file is a YAML file containing a mapping with the following keys (all optional):

• project (string) — The name of the project to which the detailed repositories belong, used in the header of the report; defaults to "Project".

• repositories (list of mappings) — A list of repositories for which to fetch recent issue & pull request activity. Each repository is specified as a mapping with the following fields:

  • name (string; required) — The name of the GitHub repository, in the form "OWNER/NAME"
  • member_activity_only (boolean) — Whether to restrict the issues & pull requests fetched for this repository to just those created or assigned to users listed in (or automatically added to) members; defaults to false

  As a convenience, a repository may instead be specified as just a string of the form "OWNER/NAME", which is equivalent to specifying a mapping with that as the name and the default values for all other fields.

• organizations (list of mappings) — A list of GitHub organizations whose repositories will all have their recent issue & pull request activity fetched. Each organization is specified as a mapping with the following fields:

  • name (string; required) — The name of the GitHub organization
  • fetch_members (boolean or regex) — Whether to automatically add the organization's members to the members list; a value of False (the default) means to not add any members, a value of True means to add all members, and a regex value means to add those members whose login names match the given regex (anchored at the start)
  • member_activity_only (boolean) — Whether to restrict the issues & pull requests fetched for this organization's repositories to just those created or assigned to users listed in (or automatically added to) members; defaults to false

  As a convenience, an organization may instead be specified as just a string, which is equivalent to specifying a mapping with that as the name and the default values for all other fields.

• members (list of strings) — A list of the login names of GitHub users that should be considered part of the project being reported on; this can be automatically extended with one or more organizations' members by setting those organizations' fetch_members fields appropriately. The list of members is used to filter out issues for the "Non-{project} member issues" section and to filter activity for repositories & organizations for which member_activity_only is true.

• recent_days (integer) — The number of days to look back for recent issue & pull request activity; defaults to 7.

• num_oldest_prs (integer) — Number of pull requests to list for the "oldest, open, non-draft PRs" section; defaults to 10.

• max_random_issues (integer) — Maximum number of issues to list for the "random open issues to fix" section; defaults to 5.
