Repomate









Important: Repomate has changed name to RepoBee. Please see
RepoBee's GitHub page for details.

Overview
Repomate is A CLI tool for administrating large amounts of GitHub
repositories, geared towards teachers and GitHub Enterprise. Repomate is
currently being used for the introductory courses in computer science at
KTH Royal Technical Institute of Technology. The
courses have roughly 200 students and several thousands of repositories,
allowing us to test Repomate at quite a large scale.
Install
Repomate is on PyPi, so python3 -m pip install repomate should do the trick. See the
install instructions
for more elaborate instructions.
Getting started
The best way to get started with Repomate is to head over to the
Docs, where you (among other
things) will find the
user guide.
It covers the use of Repomate's varous commands by way of practical example,
and should set you on the right path with little effort.
Why Repomate?
Repomate was developed at KTH Royal Technical Institute of Technology to help
teachers and teaching assistants administrate GitHub repositories. It is
inspired by the old
teachers_pet tool, with added
features and a user experience more to our liking. Features range from creating
student repositories based on master (template) repos, to opening and closing
issues in bulk, to assigning peer reviews and cloning repos in bulk. Some parts
of Repomate can be customized using a simple but powerful plugin
system. For example, the
repomate-junit4 plugin allows for
automatically running JUnit4 test classes on production code in student repos.
Below is the output from running repomate -h, giving brief descriptions of
each of the main features:
$ repomate -h
usage: repomate [-h] [-v]

Roadmap
As of December 17th 2018, Repomate's CLI is a stable release and adheres to
Semantic Versioning 2.0.0. The internals
of Repomate do not adhere to this versioning, so using Repomate as a library
is not recommended.
The plugin system is still to be considered in the beta phase, as it has seen
much less live action use than the rest of the CLI. Features are highly
unlikely to be cut, but hooks may be modified as new use-cases arise.
