Another interesting tool is Android's Repo
py, which uses a configuration file like default.xml
https://github.com/topics/github-management seems to be the best topic on GitHub for this type of tool.
And https://github.com/amirashad/ghctl (Golang) looks to be currently the best tool for updating existing repos.
https://github.com/kbrashears5/github-action-repo-settings-sync/blob/master/entrypoint.sh shows how individual settings can be easily set using shell.
We have a lot of repositories, which need managing, tracking and auditing, and a hell of a lot of dependencies, which need tracking too.
Lots of things need to be build, but the first seems to be actually listing the repositories, which is not actually easy for normal folk to do without org access.
I've been looking at gitshelf and rosinstall, and they both (and others) seem to have a good foundation.
rosinstall
clearly wins on the fact it is in apt and dnf repos, so very easy for most folk to get a hold of and use.So I've started building a set of rosinstall files:
