Add a new team to all Github repos in an organization

add-team-to-repos.js

/*
 * Adds a team to all the repos in a Github organization. This is a tedious
 * process in the UI. You'll need a newer version of node to run this (e.g 9+)
 * because it uses async/await.
 *
 * Instructions:
 *
 * 1. Copy this file somewhere on your computer, e.g. ~/addteamrepos.js
 * 2. Fill in the uppercase variables below with the right values
 * 3. Run this file: `$ node ~/addteamrepos.js`

You need to setup your token to access ALL repos

thank you!

Morning 👋

Could you add a note to the top on how you get the team ID?
something like run curl -H "Authorization: token ${GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN}" https://api.github.com/orgs/${GITHUB_ORG}/teams#list-teams

In case this is useful to anyone looking at easy ways to obtain a token

# for those using GitHub CLI
# there is an easy way to obtain a token from command line
# post initial authenticating  
# if I'm not wrong github access token prefix could differ
# -> classic token vs fine grained token 
#
# below produced with
# gh version 2.4.0+dfsg1 (2022-03-23 Ubuntu 2.4.0+dfsg1-2)
# https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/latest
token_prefix="gho." 
token=$(gh auth status --show-token 2>&1) 
GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(echo $token | grep -o -P "$token_prefix{37}") 
# confirm token value is correct - before adding to scripts
echo $GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN

# with a token which relevant access to GitHub org
# curl
curl -H "Authorization: token ${GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN}" https://api.github.com/orgs/infraxis/teams
# curl + jq
curl -s -H "Authorization: token ${GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN}" https://api.github.com/orgs/infraxis/teams | jq -r '.[]'
# curl + jq - show id and name
curl -s -H "Authorization: token ${GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN}" https://api.github.com/orgs/infraxis/teams | jq -r '.[] | "\(.id) \t \(.name)"'
# curl + jq + team name grep
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN" https://api.github.com/orgs/infraxis/teams | jq -r '.[] | "\(.id) \t \(.name)"' | grep -i foo
