Request to transfer repository from Operate First to Koku GitHub organization

[gagansk]

• Request to transfer Curator Operator from Operate First to Koku GitHub organization.
• Koku GitHub admins have approved this transfer.

@tumido Can you look into this?

[Gregory-Pereira]

I can do this but I need permissions on project-koku org to move it there. It says You don’t have the permission to create public repositories on project-koku

[tumido]

@gagansk I'm in the same boat as @Gregory-Pereira . I can't transfer it unless I can create repos in the target organization. Therefore I've made you the admin with full permissions over the https://github.com/operate-first/curator-operator repo. This way you should hopefully be able to initiate the transfer yourself. If it doesn't help we can arrange something else in coordination with project-koku admins.

@tumido , I am unable to transfer the repository. I see the message "Organization members cannot transfer repositories" under the transfer repository option.

Do you want me to request Koku admins to add you to their contributor list so that you can transfer this repo from Operate First to Koku?

[gagansk]

[cooktheryan]

@gagansk yes that would be great if they could temporarily add on of the folks within this thread to their organization

[pgarciaq]

@tumido @gagansk I don't think you need to be admins in project-koku. Our admins are already waiting for this repo. Just request the transfer and we'll pick it up.

[goern]

I did that, and also clicked the 'I understand' button...

[tumido]

@pgarciaq I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult. It just seems the workflow has changed on GitHub side and moving the repository to a different organization now requires permission to create repositories in an organization directly, instead of generating a transfer request. I'm just getting the same error as Gregory or Christoph...

As a workaround, I can suggest we try to transfer the repository directly to either you or @gagansk and you can then initiate a second transfer to project-koku yourself. I'm not sure if that would work either but we can try it. If it doesn't work, we can arrange a quick call between org owners (1 from each side), temporarily granting the necessary permissions and clicking all the buttons.

[pgarciaq]

@tumido sure. We'll have to wait till next week, since several Koku people are on PTO this week.

[goern]

is this still ongoing?

[gagansk]

Yes. This process is still in the works.

[tumido]

@gagansk what can we do to help you with it? Can we transfer the repository to you for example?

[kholdaway]

Do you want to make me an admin on this repo? I can transfer it.

[gagansk]

@kholdaway I have sent you a repo admin invite.

[kholdaway]

[kholdaway]

This may have to be temporary, but I cannot transfer with just the repo access.

[gagansk]

@tumido Can you help @kholdaway with this?

[gagansk]

I believe we hit the same roadblock when we were trying to transfer the repo before as well. @tumido Can you tell us what needs to be done to complete this transfer?

[kholdaway]

As noted in the screenshot, organizational admins can do this not members. This person has to be an admin in both this org and project-koku. If you want to make me an org admin in operate-first (just for a short window so I can move the repo), we can do this easily.

[tumido]

FTR: we met online with @kholdaway and moved it by adding him temporarily to the org admins. An associated cleanup PR is https://github.com/operate-first/common/pull/167
