Issue Aggregator

Are you managing multiple projects hosted at GitHub? Wish there was a way to see all the issues for your projects? Then you’ve come to the right place.

issue-aggregator is a Spring Boot application that queries Github for issues across multiple repositories.

Getting Started

Your first step is registering a GitHub oauth token. To do that follow these steps:

1. Go to https://github.com/settings/applications. (If you don’t have a GitHub profile, this app isn’t much use, ehh?)

2. Underneath Personal Access Tokens click Create new token.

3. You’ll probably get prompted for your password. (That way, your co-worker can’t sneak in during your coffee break and create a token without you knowing.)

4. In Token Description enter something like issue-aggregator.

5. Click Create Token.

6. You’ll be taken back to the list of apps, and should see a new, cryptic string with an icon offering to copy it to your clipboard similar to that shown below.

Run the application

Now you can run the application.

GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=<passcode> ./mvnw spring-boot:run

This works if you run it locally. If you are going to push your app to CloudFoundry, you need to set it as an environment variable. You can do something like this:

cf set-env <app_name> GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN <passcode>

Then you can push all the updates you want. If you roll the passcode, you can simply reissue the command.

You should see something like this:
