Get Repository Statistics

GitHub CLI extensions are repositories that provide additional gh commands, and this GitHub CLI extension can help you find information about your repositories in your organizations.

This information outlines the underlying GitHub metadata associated with your repository. This information is key to understanding how long a migration of the data from one instance of GitHub to another will take.

When the extension is run to completion, you will be presented with a visual table, or *.csv file to parse for all relevant information.

GHES Compatibility

The gh-repo-stats extension supports the following versions of GitHub Enterpise Server (GHES):

Supported: >= 2.20
Not Supported: <= v2.19

It should be noted that support for versions < 3.1 is limited.

Prerequisites

Operating system that can run shell scripts (bash/sh)
GitHub CLI installed by following this documentation: https://github.com/cli/cli#installation
jq command-line JSON parser: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with appropriate permissions by --token-type:
- user with admin:org, user:all, and repo:all permissions
- app with GitHub App server-to-server token with Read-only permissions to the following:
  - Repository Administration
  - Repository Contents
  - Repository Issues
  - Repository Metadata
  - Repository Projects
  - Repository Pull requests
  - Organization Members

You need to either export these environment variables:

Environment Variable name	Value
GITHUB_TOKEN	GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) as described above
GHE_URL	GitHub URL or GHES URL without HTTP or HTTPS. Defaults to `https://github.com`.

Or the script will prompt you to put in the relevant information.

Step 3: Review CSV report for migration issue(s)

Once the script has completed you will have either an inline table, or a genereted csv you can use to parse data:
