This repository contains common resources for configuration of ros-tooling repositories, as well as the workflows to automatically apply desired configurations to the managed repos.
It attemps to implement the design at https://github.com/ros-tooling/design/blob/main/docs/github-repository-management.md
Some common sources may come from https://github.com/ros-tooling/.github, but the types of files that can be managed by that are very limited compared to the full list of configurations we want to manage.
Uses a GitHub Action to apply files as a PR to managed repositories. Some files can be applied via the https://github.com/ros-tooling/.github repository, but this only allows for a very specific set of files, limiting its usefulness.
See .github/workflows/file-sync.yml for details on managed repositories and synchronized files.
The managed files include workflows to auto-approve and auto-merge these file-sync PRs, if all required checks pass.
TODO: Synchronize some repository configuration to managed repositories - useful for getting common configuration like "squash-merge only" and various Team access permissions.
Please add the following comment at the top of files to be synchronized - this is not done automatically.
This is similar to the marker concept of Ansible's blockinfile
# NOTE: this file is managed by ros-tooling/repo-configs, don't edit it manually.
