Re-enabling GitHub Actions

After a certain period of time (currently 60 days) without commits GitHub automatically disables Actions. They can be re-enabled manually per repository. This script does this for all gocept repositories listed in repositories.txt. It does no harm if Actions is already enabled for a repository.

Preparation

• Install GitHub's CLI application, see https://github.com/cli/cli.

• Authorize using the application:

  • gh auth login

Usage

To run the script just call it::

$ python3 re-enable-gha.py

Currently this has to be done manually once a while.

Add new repository or remove repository

To add or remove a repository change repositories.txt and commit the change.
