Module Features

In contrast to the plain github_repository resource this module enables various other features like Branch Protection or Collaborator Management.

Default Security Settings: This module creates a private repository by default, Deploy keys are read-only by default
Standard Repository Features: Setting basic Metadata, Merge Strategy, Auto Init, License Template, Gitignore Template, Template Repository
Extended Repository Features: Branch Protection, Issue Labels, Handle Github Default Issue Labels, Collaborators, Teams, Deploy Keys, Projects, Repository Webhooks
Features not yet implemented: Project Columns support, Actions, Repository File

Getting Started

Most basic usage creating a new private github repository.

module "repository" {
  source  = "mineiros-io/repository/github"
  version = "~> 0.5.0"

  name               = "terraform-github-repository"
  license_template   = "apache-2.0"
  gitignore_template = "Terraform"
}

Module Argument Reference

See variables.tf and examples/ for details and use-cases.

Top-level Arguments

Module Configuration

module_depends_on: (Optional list(any))

Due to the fact, that terraform does not offer depends_on on modules as of today (v0.12.24) we might hit race conditions when dealing with team names instead of ids. So when using the feature of adding teams by slug/name to the repository when creating it, make sure to add all teams to this list as indirect dependencies. Default is [].

Repository Configuration

name: (Required string)

The name of the repository.
defaults: (Optional object)

A object of default settings to use instead of module defaults for top-level arguments. See below for a list of supported arguments. Default is {} - use module defaults as described in the README.
allow_merge_commit: (Optional bool)

Set to false to disable merge commits on the repository. If you set this to false you have to enable either allow_squash_merge or allow_rebase_merge. Default is true.
allow_squash_merge: (Optional bool)

Set to true to enable squash merges on the repository. Default is false.
allow_rebase_merge: (Optional bool)

Set to true to enable rebase merges on the repository. Default is false.
description: (Optional string)

A description of the repository. Default is ""
delete_branch_on_merge: (Optional string)

Set to false to disable the automatic deletion of head branches after pull requests are merged. Default is true
homepage_url: (Optional string)

URL of a page describing the project. Default is ""
private: (Optional bool)

Set to false to create a public repository. Default is true
has_issues: (Optional bool)

Set to true to enable the GitHub Issues features on the repository. Default is false
has_projects: (Optional bool)

Set to true to enable the GitHub Projects features on the repository. Default is false
has_wiki: (Optional bool)

Set to true to enable the GitHub Wiki features on the repository. Default is false
has_downloads: (Optional bool)

Set to true to enable the (deprecated) downloads features on the repository. Default is false.
is_template: (Optional bool)

Set to true to tell GitHub that this is a template repository. Default is false.
default_branch: (Optional string)

The name of the default branch of the repository. NOTE: This can only be set after a repository has already been created, and after a correct reference has been created for the target branch inside the repository. This means a user will have to omit this parameter from the initial repository creation and create the target branch inside of the repository prior to setting this attribute. Default is ""
archived: (Optional bool)

Specifies if the repository should be archived. NOTE: Currently, the API does not support unarchiving. Default is false.
topics: (Optional list(string))

The list of topics of the repository. Default is [].
extra_topics: (Optional list(string))

A list of additional topics of the repository. Those topics will be added to the list of topics. This is useful if default.topics are used and the list should be extended with more topics. Default is [].

Repository Creation Configuration

The following four arguments can only be set at repository creation and changes will be ignored for repository updates and will not show a diff in plan or apply phase.

auto_init: (Optional bool)

Set to false to not produce an initial commit in the repository. Default is true.
gitignore_template: (Optional string)

Use the name of the template without the extension. Default is ""
license_template: (Optional string)

Use the name of the template without the extension. Default is ""
template: (Optional object)

Use a template repository to create this resource. See Template Object Attributes below for details.

Teams Configuration

Your can use non-computed (known at terraform plan) team names or slugs (*_teams Attributes) or computed (only known in terraform apply phase) team IDs (*_team_ids Attributes). When using non-computed names/slugs teams need to exist before running plan. This is due to some terraform limitation and we will update the module once terraform removed thislimitation.

pull_teams or pull_team_ids: (Optional list(string))

A list of teams to grant pull (read-only) permission. Recommended for non-code contributors who want to view or discuss your project. Default is [].
triage_teams or triage_team_ids: (Optional list(string))

A list of teams to grant triage permission. Recommended for contributors who need to proactively manage issues and pull requests without write access. Default is [].
push_teams or push_team_ids: (Optional list(string))

A list of teams to grant push (read-write) permission. Recommended for contributors who actively push to your project. Default is [].
maintain_teams or maintain_team_ids: (Optional list(string))

A list of teams to grant maintain permission. Recommended for project managers who need to manage the repository without access to sensitive or destructive actions. Default is [].
admin_teams or admin_team_ids: (Optional list(string))

A list of teams to grant admin (full) permission. Recommended for people who need full access to the project, including sensitive and destructive actions like managing security or deleting a repository. Default is [].

Collaborator Configuration

pull_collaborators: (Optional list(string))

A list of user names to add as collaborators granting them pull (read-only) permission. Recommended for non-code contributors who want to view or discuss your project. Default is [].
triage_collaborators: (Optional list(string))

A list of user names to add as collaborators granting them triage permission. Recommended for contributors who need to proactively manage issues and pull requests without write access. Default is [].
push_collaborators: (Optional list(string))

A list of user names to add as collaborators granting them push (read-write) permission. Recommended for contributors who actively push to your project. Default is [].
maintain_collaborators: (Optional list(string))

A list of user names to add as collaborators granting them maintain permission. Recommended for project managers who need to manage the repository without access to sensitive or destructive actions. Default is [].
admin_collaborators: (Optional list(string))

A list of user names to add as collaborators granting them admin (full) permission. Recommended for people who need full access to the project, including sensitive and destructive actions like managing security or deleting a repository. Default is [].

Deploy Keys Configuration

deploy_keys: (Optional list(deploy_key|string))

Specifies deploy keys and access-level of deploy keys used in this repository. Every string in the list will be converted internally into the object representation with the key argument being set to the string. object details are explained below. Default is [].
deploy_keys_computed: (Optional list(deploy_key|string))

Same as deploy_keys argument with the following differences: Use this argument if you depend on computed keys that terraform can not use in resource for_each execution. Downside of this is the recreation of deploy key resources whenever the order in the list changes. Prefer deploy_keys whenever possible. This argument does not conflict with deploy_keys and should exclusively be used for computed resources. Default is [].

Branch Protections Configuration

branch_protections: (Optional list(branch_protection))

This resource allows you to configure branch protection for repositories in your organization. When applied, the branch will be protected from forced pushes and deletion. Additional constraints, such as required status checks or restrictions on users and teams, can also be configured. Default is [].

Issue Labels Configuration

issue_labels: (Optional list(issue_label))

This resource allows you to create and manage issue labels within your GitHub organization. Issue labels are keyed off of their "name", so pre-existing issue labels result in a 422 HTTP error if they exist outside of Terraform. Normally this would not be an issue, except new repositories are created with a "default" set of labels, and those labels easily conflict with custom ones. This resource will first check if the label exists, and then issue an update, otherwise it will create. Default is [].
issue_labels_merge_with_github_labels: (Optional bool)

Specify if github default labels will be handled by terraform. This should be decided on upon creation of the repository. If you later decide to disable this feature, github default labels will be destroyed if not replaced by labels set in issue_labels argument. Default is true.
issue_labels_create: (Optional bool)

Specify whether you want to force or suppress the creation of issues labels. Default is true if has_issues is true or issue_labels is non-empty, otherwise default is false.

Projects Configuration

projects: (Optional list(project))

This resource allows you to create and manage projects for GitHub repository. Default is [].

Webhooks Configuration

webhooks: (Optional list(webhook))

This resource allows you to create and manage webhooks for repositories in your organization. When applied, a webhook will be created which specifies a URL to receive events and which events to receieve. Additional constraints, such as SSL verification, pre-shared secret and content type can also be configured Default is [].

Module Versioning

This Module follows the principles of Semantic Versioning (SemVer).

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, we increment the:

MAJOR version when we make incompatible changes,
MINOR version when we add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and
PATCH version when we make backwards compatible bug fixes.

Backwards compatibility in `0.0.z` and `0.y.z` version

Backwards compatibility in versions 0.0.z is not guaranteed when z is increased. (Initial development)
Backwards compatibility in versions 0.y.z is not guaranteed when y is increased. (Pre-release)
