Github Issues Export: This script exports all issues from a repository, along with comments and events, into a JSON file. It also produces a Markdown file that can be used to easily view the issues.
"""
This script uses Github's API V3 with Basic Authentication to export issues from
a repository. The script saves a json file with all of the information from the
API for issues, comments, and events (on the issues), downloads all of the
images attached to issues, and generates a markdown file that can be rendered
into a basic HTML page crudely mimicking Github's issue page. If the gfm module
is available, the script will go ahead and render it itself.
In the end, you'll be left with a folder containing a raw .json file (which you
can use to extract information for your needs, or to import it somewhere else),
a .md (markdown) file, and potentially a .html file that you can use to easily
view the issues if the repository is deleted, in addition to any image files
referenced in issues.
To use the script, set the USERNAME, PASSWORD, and REPO variables below. You
will need the requests library, easily installed via pip or setuptools ("pip
install requests" or "easy_install requests"). The gfm library is optional but
recommended (also installable via pip).
The script is also somewhat modular, and functions can be imported by other
scripts.
