org-level commit types

[jasonkuhrt]

I would like to augment the supported semantic version types at the org level. It is currently only possible at the repo level via config file, correct?

[zeke]

That's correct.

I know @gr2m, @iamhughes, @richardlitt, and @wooorm have all worked on projects to help sync repo configuration across orgs. Any tips, y'all?

[RichardLitt]

I use shell scripts to check the existence of files, as it's normally the easiest, by cloning all of the repos locally. Upload a config file to each repo, or point to a single master file in a .github repo or something similar. :)

Is it not possible to enhance the GitHub app to accept settings?

I started stubbing out a PoC here: https://github.com/IAmHughes/sync-action-workflow-across-org

Unfortunately I haven't had time to go back to it yet after hitting a hurdle with Octokit described here: https://github.com/octokit/rest.js/issues/1656

The plan was for an action that triggers off of a push event, checks if the push contained changes to a whitelist set of workflows, then will create PRs to all the repos in your repo whitelist to update the workflow.

Not entirely sure how I can help, but here’s a quick intro in my experience: The work I did in this field is github-tools and npm-tools, which is about all the metadata around repos, packages, and orgs: the thing that are not checked in. The scale is that we maintain hundreds of projects in many organizations. The challenge is that (at the time?) GH tooling like actions is always at the repo level, and that there aren’t really hooks to plug into for our cases (e.g. if someone somehow got merge rights), so for us we’re doing a daily cron job to check and fix everything

Probot supports owner-wide configuration. Just create a .github repository, and in that repository create the .github/semantic.yml file. Probot will look for that file automatically.

Probot supports owner-wide configuration.

That works out of the box!?

[gr2m]

I think so? If I recall correctly we incorporated the functionality of probot-config into probot core

I will try this tomorrow thanks!

Created https://github.com/graphql-nexus/.github and trying to test here https://github.com/graphql-nexus/test/pull/1 but not confident with result because even a blatantly incorrect title is showing as a PASS. 🤔

[zeke]

It looks like you have improve listed as an allowable prefix type in your config at https://github.com/graphql-nexus/.github/blob/6016cd69f13fc98f42a95421dbef87d00a7b34af/.github/semantic.yml#L3, and you have a commit with an improve: prefix in this PR: https://github.com/graphql-nexus/test/pull/1

That suggests to me that the config is actually working, asimprove would otherwise not be an allowed prefix.

[jasonkuhrt]

Yeah my bad I was thinking as if the titleOnly option was enabled.

This is awesome thanks everyone!
