Socket repo enabler

This is a small program to enable repos for the Socket security app based on a repo topic.

Step 1

Install the Socket security app and selectively enable it to at least 1 repo.

Step 2

A user with application administration access to the org should create a personal access token with the following scopes:

admin:org, repo

https://github.com/settings/tokens

Step 3

Download the script and install dependencies. Node 16 required.

• git clone https://github.com/SocketDev/gh-app-installer
• cd gh-app-installer
• npm i

Step 4

Run the script. It will request a personal access token the first time it is run. The token is stored in local user storage and can be deactivated or deleted when the process completes.

• node index.js

node index.js
