RepoCop

RepoCop monitors your source code repositories and reports violations to committers.

Primary Directives

1. Each repository should have a file called repocop.json in the root directory
2. repocop.json should contain at least the following element

{
  "importance": "<critical|high|medium|low>"
}

Prerequisits

1. node
2. git

Installation

Thanks to all sorts of interactive shenanigans with ssh and bower you are best running this by hand

mkdir -p $INSTALL_DIR
git clone https://github.com/acuminous/RepoCop.git $INSTALL_DIR
cd $INSTALL_DIR
npm install
bower install
./node_modules/.bin/gulp build
NODE_ENV=production node server.js --server.host=$HOST --server.port=$PORT

Updating to the latest version

cd $INSTALL_DIR
git fetch
git reset --hard origin/master  
npm install
./node_modules/.bin/gulp build
kill -s SIGUSR2 $REPOCOP_PID

Production Configuration

RepoCop requires you to define organisations in conf/private.json, e.g.

{
    "survey": {
        "organisations": [
            {
                "name": "<organisation name>",
                "providerKey": "github",
                "authentication": {
                    "type": "basic",
                    "username": "<machine user>",
                    "password": "<application key>"
                }
            }          
        ]
    }
}

The application key can be generated in GitHub on the Applications settings page, under Personal Access Tokens. It should have access to the following roles

GitHub

1. repo
2. public_repo
3. user:email
4. repo:status
5. read:org
