Large organization support #66

Open paulslaby opened 6 months ago

paulslaby commented 6 months ago

I have a problem. I want to distribute a small portion of files (currently one) into a large number of repositories. I am hitting the limit 10GB of disk space on the worker. Possible solutions I see:

no cloning of the target repo (we can create a PR directly via API)
deleting the cloned repo after processing is done (quickwin, but breaks caching possibility)
splitting repositories into batches and run batches in distinct runs

😅

didn't know that is possible. Not sure how that would work though

deleting the cloned repo after processing is done (quickwin, but breaks caching possibility)

I think this one is easiest and caching is probably not a big deal

I rewrote it in a fork in our company: https://github.com/customink/manage-files-in-multiple-repositories Feel free to get inspired, or anything you want. But i think those changes are too big to create a PR.
