You know how every time you create a new repo on GitHub, you need to: - create a branch protection rule on main, block force pushes - enable auto-merge - make branches delete when PR gets merged - enforce linear history, disable merge commits - enable update branch button Now, you can do all that with a single command: npx github-sane-defaults@latest plan <your-org-handle> --all This is just the plan command, shows you which repos don't have branch protection rules and those settings, like: changes awesomeorg/awesomerepo Settings allow_merge_commit true -> false allow_auto_merge false -> true allow_update_branch false -> true delete_branch_on_merge false -> true Ruleset create Then you run it with apply instead of plan, and it makes those changes Basically a very simple github policy manager. Let me know if you want configurability with policy files, currently it just applied my opinionated defaults Either way, this will never be something too deep, there is terraform for that Source:
