I'm building Mass Driver[1], a tool to automate PR creation across many (many) repos, building a library of reusable changes via "patchdriver" plugins.

The repos can be fed as list on CLI, via file, or via a "source" type plugin (allows github search or custom API calls), the PR creation works via a "Forge" plugin.

Resulting PR list can be fetched to review status:

> Of 113 given PRs, 73 merged, 30 closed not merged, 5 ready to merge (no conflict), 5 with conflicts.

I've created hundreds of PRs with it via github app integration, see the plugins repo[2].

This is a much better thought out version of a project I made by necessity last year using github actions. It was for batching PRs when maintaining related open source repos as they grew, I especially like the ability to run on a local repo- gh actions made that very difficult and I suffered as a result haha Thanks for sharing!


I’m not sure what I’d use this for?

Is it for when I need to enable Github Advanced Security on all 2537 repos in my org (by adding a workflow file)?


You can update your copyright notice across all you repos on 1/1/2024! Highly impactful work /s.
