This script allows you to change the visibility of your GitHub repositories (public to private or private to public) in bulk.

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/sshd911/visibility-changer.git
cd visibility-changer

2. Configure your settings:

   • Open config.sh and fill in the necessary variables.
   • The default configuration is to make all public repositories private.

3. Set your GitHub token and username an environment variables:

   export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token"
   export GITHUB_USERNAME="your_github_username"

Configuration

Edit config.sh to set your GitHub username and token. There are also options to set the visibility type and desired state (public/private).

config.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Fill in your GitHub username and token. It is recommended to set these as environment variables for security reasons.
GITHUB_USER="${GITHUB_USERNAME}"
GITHUB_TOKEN="${GITHUB_TOKEN}"

# Specify the visibility type of the repositories to be processed.
# Options:
# "public" - Targets public repositories.
# "private" - Targets private repositories.
REPOS_VISIBILITY_TYPE="private"

# Specify the desired visibility change for the target repositories.
# Options:
# "true" - Set repositories to private.
# "false" - Set repositories to public.
SET_TO_PRIVATE="false"

Running the script

1. Make the script executable

chmod +x main.sh
chmod +x scripts/api_calls.sh
chmod +x scripts/repos_handler.sh

2. Run the script

./main.sh

This will start the process of changing the visibility of your repositories based on the configuration in config.sh.
