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.

    # The permission to grant the collaborator. Can be one of:
    # * `pull` - can pull, but not push to or administer this repository.
    # * `push` - can pull and push, but not administer this repository.
    # * `admin` - can pull, push and administer this repository.

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 the 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.

This app is open source. Check out octotask/settings to suggest improvements or run your own instance.
