Fetch all repositories using the graphQL API

[sladyn98]

We could search for all of the repositories owned by a user and then list out the parameters we would require to query a) Default Branch b) Pull Requests c) Default Permissions d) Branch Protection

[sladyn98]

One of the queries I tried running to get repositories is

{
  viewer {
    repositories(first: 100) {
      totalCount
      nodes {
        nameWithOwner
      }
      pageInfo {
        endCursor
        hasNextPage
      }
    }
  }
}

This is one query I used to get all repos under jordans username

{
  user(login: "ljharb") {
    repositories(first: 50, isFork: false) {
      nodes {
        name
        url
      }
    }
  }
}

You can get the default branch name by adding a defaultBranchRef

{
  user(login: "ljharb") {
    repositories(first: 50, isFork: false) {
      nodes {
        name
        url
        defaultBranchRef {
          name
        }
      }  
    }
  }

}

{
  user(login: "ljharb") {
    repositories(first: 50, isFork: false) {
      nodes {
        name
        url
        defaultBranchRef {
          name
          branchProtectionRule {
            isAdminEnforced
            requiresStatusChecks
            allowsForcePushes
          }
        }
      }  
    }
  }
}

This returns data in this format. We can then parse this information about default branch name and group it

{
  "data": {
    "user": {
      "repositories": {
        "nodes": [
          {
            "name": "compat-table",
            "url": "https://github.com/kangax/compat-table",
            "defaultBranchRef": {
              "name": "gh-pages",
              "branchProtectionRule": null
            }
          },
          {
            "name": "nvm",
            "url": "https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm",
            "defaultBranchRef": {
              "name": "master",
              "branchProtectionRule": null
            }
          },
          {
            "name": "forms",
            "url": "https://github.com/caolan/forms",
            "defaultBranchRef": {
              "name": "master",
              "branchProtectionRule": null
            }
          },
          {
            "name": "testling",
            "url": "https://github.com/substack/testling",
            "defaultBranchRef": {
              "name": "master",
              "branchProtectionRule": null
            }
          },
          {
            "name": "isitteatimeyet",
            "url": "https://github.com/attaboy/isitteatimeyet",
            "defaultBranchRef": {
              "name": "master",
              "branchProtectionRule": null
            }
          },
          {
            "name": "travis-cookbooks",
            "url": "https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-cookbooks",
            "defaultBranchRef": {
              "name": "master",
              "branchProtectionRule": null
            }
          },
          {
            "name": "resolve",
            "url": "https://github.com/browserify/resolve",
            "defaultBranchRef": {
              "name": "master",
              "branchProtectionRule": null
            }
          },
          {
            "name": "TcoExpand",
            "url": "https://github.com/ljharb/TcoExpand",
            "defaultBranchRef": {
              "name": "master",
              "branchProtectionRule": null
            }
          },
          {
            "name": "is",
            "url": "https://github.com/enricomarino/is",
            "defaultBranchRef": {
              "name": "master",
              "branchProtectionRule": null
            }
          },

Here's the one I used:

query {
  viewer {
    repositories(
      first: 100
      affiliations: [OWNER, ORGANIZATION_MEMBER, COLLABORATOR]
      ${endCursor ? `after: "${endCursor}"` : ""}
    ) {
      totalCount
      pageInfo {
        endCursor
        hasNextPage
      }
      nodes {
        name
        owner {
          login
        }
        isPrivate
        defaultBranchRef {
            name
        }
        viewerPermission
      }
    }
  }
  rateLimit {
    cost
    remaining
  }
}

Some sample outputs I got with the feature I pushed here

This looks great! A few thoughts:

• maybe we could start writing some documentation for the feature list. For ex, setup (create .env file with github token, meaning of different commands etc)
• we could add the option to sort the list by date, name or one of the other attributes (access, defbranch etc) so it's easier to track the repos that need to change
• what information do we need regarding pull requests?
• so I see we're missing github actions and settings on the options page. I could work on the options.

We can close this since we have already initial research
