Votable Issues

This repository is the home of the tool that will query the GitHub API for the Iris issues that have been voted on and update a json file held in the repo. This json file may then be used in the Iris documentation to view the voted issues.

This tool is run via a GitHub Action named refresh-voted-issues.yml This is essentially a workaround as the GitHub Issue browser on the web site only allows sorting by the number of comments, not by the number of likes on the issue header.

Dependencies

• pyGitHub. See https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html

Usage

In order to run successfully the GH_TOKEN shell variable needs to be a valid GItHub token value.

$ export GH_TOKEN=********************
$ python query_gh_votable_issues.py

CLA

The CLA check will run on pull requests, as with the rest of SciTools, but the CLA is NOT part of any branch protection rule as this would block the workflow of merging directly to main.
