Gitea is the source of truth: labels are managed there, in the # web UI or via its API, and this script makes GitHub match. # # Mirroring copies files, not repository settings, so labels do not travel # with a push. They matter on the mirror anyway, because GitHub reads the # same .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ files and silently drops a labels: entry # naming a label that does not exist there. # # Three actions, decided by comparing the two sets by label name: # # missing on GitHub created # color or description drift updated # extra on GitHub deleted only if no issue or PR carries it, # otherwise left alone and reported # # The usage check is what keeps an unattended scheduled run from stripping # a label off somebody's issue. An extra label that is in use is reported # with its count and requires a human decision. # # ARGUMENTS # --dry-run Print the plan and exit without changing anything. Works # without a token, using GitHub's unauthenticated read quota. # --self-test Check the diff logic against in-memory fixtures and exit. # Runs offline; makes no network calls. # # ENVIRONMENT # GH_MIRROR_TOKEN GitHub token with Issues: read and write (labels live # under Issues) and Pull requests: read (so the usage # check sees labels attached to PRs). Required unless # --dry-run or --self-test. # # EXIT STATUS # 0 Success, or a dry run that completed. # 1 An API call failed, the token is missing, or a self-test failed. # # NOTES # Labels are matched by name, so renaming one on Gitea reads here as a # delete plus a create: the new name is created, and the old one is pruned # only if unused. The two forges share no stable label ID, so a rename # cannot be tracked across them. # # GitHub has no exclusive labels. Gitea's one-of enforcement on Priority/, # Reviewed/, and Status/ does not survive the trip and holds by convention # on the mirror. import argparse import json import os import sys import urllib.error import urllib.parse import urllib.request GITEA_API = "https://git.rootiest.dev/api/v1" GITEA_REPO = "Rootiest/fish-config" GITHUB_API = "https://api.github.com" GITHUB_REPO = "rootiest/fish-config" TOKEN_ENV = "GH_MIRROR_TOKEN" TIMEOUT = 30 class SyncError(RuntimeError): """An API call failed, or the environment is not usable.""" # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Pure diff core.
