GitHub Settings

This GitHub App syncs repository settings defined in .github/settings.yml to GitHub, enabling Pull Requests for repository settings.

Usage

1. Install the app.
2. Create a .github/settings.yml file in your repository. Changes to this file on the default branch will be synced to GitHub.

All settings are optional.

# NOTE: The APIs needed for teams are not supported yet by GitHub Apps
# https://developer.github.com/v3/apps/available-endpoints/
teams:
  - name: core
    permission: admin
  - name: docs
    permission: push

WARNING: Note that this app inherently escalates anyone with push permissions to the admin role, since they can push config settings to the master branch, which will be synced. In a future, we may add restrictions to allow changes to the config file to be merged only by specific people/teams, or those with admin access (via a combination of protected branches, required statuses, and branch restrictions). Until then, use caution when merging PRs and adding collaborators.

See docs/deploy.md if you would like to run your own instance of this plugin.
