Add Multiple Repositories in a Team - Bonobo Git Server Made Easy

In today’s collaborative work environment, effective version control through tools like Bonobo Git Server is essential. However, managing access to multiple repositories for numerous team members can sometimes become a daunting task. Let's break down how to grant your team access to all existing repositories without needing to assign administrative privileges and while avoiding the tedious process of manual additions for each repository.

The Challenge

You want all team members to access over 100+ repositories on your Bonobo Git Server without granting them full administrative rights. Manually adding each member to all repositories isn't practical. So, what are your options?

Proposed Solutions

You mentioned two potential strategies:

Create a team to add members collectively - This allows for bulk access, but the issue arises when it comes to linking this team to all repositories at once. Manually adding the team to each repository can be too time-consuming.

Using a Bash script - Automating the process could save a ton of time, but you’d need some guidance on how to configure this effectively.

Solution Explained

Option 1: Creating a Team

Teams seem like the right way to approach the problem. By creating a team and adding all your members, you can streamline access considerably. However, the challenge remains with linking the team across multiple repositories. Here’s how you might handle that:

Identify Team Members: List out all the users who need access.

Create the Team: Use Bonobo’s built-in functionality to create your team.

Bulk Add Team to Repositories: Unfortunately, the Bonobo Git Server does not provide a straightforward UI solution for bulk linking. This is where the scripting option might come in handy.

Option 2: Scripting with Bash

If you’re comfortable with scripting, using a Bash script can be an effective way to automate the process. Here’s a general plan:

Understand the Database: Bonobo Git Server uses a SQLite database for permission management. This means if you have the right tools, you can manipulate it directly.

Scripting Steps:

Connect to the SQLite Database: Use a tool like SQLite Browser to inspect the database and identify how permissions are structured.

Draft the Script: Write a Bash script that queries the database to add your team to all repositories. This requires a basic understanding of SQL commands.

Test the Script: Run the script in a controlled environment first to ensure it works as expected without corrupting any data.

Where is the Information Stored?

All information about contributors and team settings is stored in the SQLite database used by Bonobo Git Server. Knowing this can help you understand how to manage and manipulate data effectively.

Conclusion

Managing access permissions efficiently in Bonobo Git Server can significantly enhance your team's workflow. By utilizing the concepts of teams and potentially scripting your way to bulk access adjustments, you can streamline your repository management processes.
If you’re ready to automate, dive into some SQLite manipulation, and you’ll soon master your repository access issues.
