GitHub Tools

A place for internal GitHub tools to exist and be used.

Usage

This repository holds a collection of scripts which are intended to be run locally:

• yarn get-review-metrics: Gets the PR load of the extension platform team.

• yarn count-references-to-contributor-docs: Counts the number of references to the contributor-docs repo in pull request comments.

• yarn run slack:release-testing: Publishes a notification to slack for active releases regarding the release testing statuses.

Authentication

Some scripts require a GitHub token in order to run fully.

For best results, create a classic personal token and ensure that it has the following scopes:

• read:org
• public_repo

To use the token, you need to set the GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable:

GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN="<your GitHub token>" <command>

It's recommended to use your machine's local keychain to store the token and retrieve it from there. For example, under macOS, you can use the following command to store the token:

security add-generic-password -a $USER -s 'GitHub auth token' -w "<your GitHub token>"

Now you can use the token like this:

GITHUB_NPM_TOKEN="$(security find-generic-password a $USER -s 'GitHub auth token' -w)" <command>

Logging

Some scripts print additional information that may be useful for debugging. To see it, set the DEBUG environment variable as follows:

DEBUG="metamask:*" <command>

Contributing

Setup

• Install Node.js version 20
  • If you are using nvm (recommended) running nvm use will automatically choose the right node version for you.
• Install Yarn v3
• Run yarn install to install dependencies and run any required post-install scripts

Testing and Linting

Run yarn test to run the tests once. To run tests on file changes, run yarn test:watch.

Run yarn lint to run the linter, or run yarn lint:fix to run the linter and fix any automatically fixable issues.
