Maintain GitHub repositories and automate common tasks related to project upkeep, CI/CD workflows, and dependency management.

Installation 🚀

Using NPM

npm install -g @playform/maintain

Using Yarn

yarn global add @playform/maintain

Using PNPM

pnpm install -g @playform/maintain

or direct usage:

Using NPM

npx @playform/maintain < Command > [Arguments...]

Using Yarn

yarn @playform/maintain < Command > [Arguments...]

Using PNPM

pnpx @playform/maintain < Command > [Arguments...]

CLI Usage:

The CLI is invoked using the Maintain command, followed by a specific subcommand.

Maintain < Command > [Arguments...]

Commands:

Clean [Repositories...]

Deletes GitHub Actions workflow runs, their logs, and actions caches for specified repositories. If no repositories are listed, it attempts to clean all repositories accessible to the configured user.

• Arguments:
  • [Repositories...]: (Optional) A list of repository names to clean.
• Example:

  Maintain Clean MyRepo AnotherRepo
  Maintain Clean # Cleans all accessible repositories

Dependabot

Scans project directories (identified by various package manifest files like package.json, Cargo.toml, etc.) and generates/updates .github/dependabot.yml configuration files. It also creates a supporting .github/workflows/Dependabot.yml GitHub Actions workflow. This helps in keeping project dependencies up-to-date automatically.

• Example:

  Maintain Dependabot

Dispatch [Repositories...]

Triggers workflow_dispatch events for all workflows found in the specified repositories. If no repositories are listed, it attempts to dispatch events for all repositories accessible to the configured user. The dispatch is triggered on a ref named "Current".

• Arguments:
  • [Repositories...]: (Optional) A list of repository names to dispatch workflow events for.
• Example:

  Maintain Dispatch MyRepo AnotherRepo
  Maintain Dispatch # Dispatches for all accessible repositories

Edit [Repositories...]

Configures a wide range of settings for your GitHub organizations and repositories. This includes enabling vulnerability alerts, automated security fixes, adjusting merge strategies (e.g., allow squash merge, auto-merge, delete branch on merge), fork settings, requiring web commit signoffs, and setting default permissions for GitHub Actions at both repository and organization levels. Applies to specified repositories or all accessible ones.

• Arguments:
  • [Repositories...]: (Optional) A list of repository names to edit.
• Example:

  Maintain Edit MyRepo AnotherRepo
  Maintain Edit # Edits settings for all accessible repositories and organizations

Node

Generates or updates a .github/workflows/Node.yml GitHub Actions workflow for projects using Node.js (identified by package.json files). The workflow configures Node.js, installs dependencies using pnpm (with caching for pnpm-lock.yaml), and includes steps for common npm scripts like build, test, and prepublishOnly. Build artifacts from ./Target (if a build script is present) are uploaded.

• Example:

  Maintain Node

Cloudflare

Generates or updates a .github/workflows/Cloudflare.yml GitHub Actions workflow for projects intended for Cloudflare deployment (identified by wrangler.toml files). It sets up the cloudflare/wrangler-action for deployments.

• Example:

  Maintain Cloudflare

NPM

Generates or updates a .github/workflows/NPM.yml GitHub Actions workflow for Node.js projects that publish packages to NPM. If build, prepublishOnly, or Build scripts are found in package.json, it adds steps to publish the package using npm publish --legacy-peer-deps --ignore-scripts.

• Example:

  Maintain NPM

Rust

Generates or updates a .github/workflows/Rust.yml GitHub Actions workflow for Rust projects (identified by Cargo.toml files). The workflow includes steps for caching Cargo dependencies and building the project in release mode (cargo build --release --all-features).

• Example:

  Maintain Rust

GitHub

Generates or updates a generic .github/workflows/GitHub.yml GitHub Actions workflow. This workflow can be used for general CI purposes across your repositories.

• Example:

  Maintain GitHub

Workflow

A meta-command that executes all individual workflow generation commands: Dependabot, Node, Cloudflare, NPM, Rust, and GitHub. This is useful for setting up all standard workflows in a project.

• Example:

  Maintain Workflow

Star

Scans all package.json files found within the Base directory (see .env configuration), extracts all NPM dependencies (both dependencies and devDependencies), and attempts to star their corresponding GitHub repositories.

• Example:

  Maintain Star

Complexity [files...] Scans specified files or project directories and logs package file information. (Note: Advanced complexity analysis features may be under development, current primary function is discovery and logging of project structure related to package files).

• Arguments:
  • [files...]: (Optional) A list of files or globs to scan.
• Example:

  Maintain Complexity "src/**/*.ts"
  Maintain Complexity # Scans based on located package files

.env Configuration

Create a .env file in the root directory where you run Maintain or ensure these environment variables are set:

# Your GitHub username.
# Used by: Clean, Dispatch, Edit.
User="YourGitHubUsername"

# The base directory for operations like scanning for package.json files.
# Defaults to the current working directory.
# Used by: Star, and all workflow generation commands (Dependabot, Node, Cloudflare, NPM, Rust, GitHub, Complexity).
Base="/path/to/your/projects_root_or_monorepo_root"

# Your GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with appropriate permissions.
# (e.g., repo, workflow, admin:org for organization edits).
# Used by: Clean, Dispatch, Edit, Star.
Token="YourGitHubPAT"
