Soenneker.GitHub.Repositories 11.0.1420

Soenneker.GitHub.Repositories

Creates, discovers, configures, and deletes GitHub repositories through the REST and GraphQL APIs.

Installation

dotnet add package Soenneker.GitHub.Repositories

Configure and register

{
  "GH": {
    "Token": "your-github-token"
  }
}

using Soenneker.GitHub.Repositories.Registrars;

services.AddGitHubRepositoriesUtilAsSingleton();

The token's repository and organization permissions determine which operations succeed. Creation, settings changes, sponsorship changes, and deletion require write or administration permissions appropriate to the target.

Discover repositories

FullRepository? repository = await repositories.GetByName(
    "example-org", "example-repository", cancellationToken);

List<MinimalRepository> recent = await repositories.GetAllForOwner(
    "example-org",
    startAt: DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddMonths(-1),
    cancellationToken: cancellationToken);

GetByName() returns null only for GitHub's 404 response. Authentication, permission, rate-limit, and transport failures propagate. GetAllForOwnerIncrementally() yields pages as they arrive and applies the optional creation-date window.

Create and configure

FullRepository created = await repositories.CreateForOrg(
    org: "example-org",
    name: "example-repository",
    description: "Example service",
    isPrivate: true,
    allowSquashMerge: true,
    cancellationToken: cancellationToken);

await repositories.ReplaceTopics(
    "example-org", "example-repository",
    ["dotnet", "service"],
    cancellationToken);

ReplaceTopics() replaces the entire topic collection; passing an empty list clears it. CreateUnique() probes the base name and numeric suffixes, then creates the first name reported as absent. A concurrent creator can still win that race and cause GitHub to reject the request.

Mutating operations

ToggleAutoMergeOnAllRepos() attempts every repository and throws an AggregateException afterward if any updates failed, so partial completion is visible. ToggleSponsorships() uses GitHub's GraphQL mutation over the same authenticated HTTP transport.

DeleteIfExists() permanently deletes the repository when GitHub confirms it exists. It does not treat access failures as absence; verify the owner and repository before calling it.
