[FEATURE REQUEST] Data resource for query all repositories in a Github ORG

[mechastorm]

It would be useful if there was a terraform data resource to query the github org - specifically get a list of all repositories from the Github Org (or maybe even a user).

example

# Get all repositories that are part of example org 
data "github_repos" "example" {
  slug = "example-org"
}

# Get all repositories that are part of example user 
data "github_repos" "example" {
  slug = "example-user"
}

Using the output from that data resource, we can then iterate over them for actions like

• attaching teams to a repository
• setting a standardized github_branch_protection setting on all repositories.

Hi @mechastorm
thanks for opening this issue.

I'm thinking we could implement this on top of the Search API which would give users the flexibility to query any repositories, whether scoped by an org, name, or anything else using the search syntax.

e.g.

data "github_repositories" "example" {
  search_query = "user:terraform-providers language:Go"
}

output "full_names" {
  value = "${data.github_repositories.example.full_names}"
}

full_names = [
  "terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws",
  "terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm",
  "terraform-providers/terraform-provider-google",
...
]

then if users need they can leverage the other data source (to get more data about each repository) which was merged recently:

data "github_repositories" "example" {
  search_query = "user:terraform-providers language:Go"
}

data "github_repository" "provider" {
  count     = "${length(data.github_repositories.providers.full_names)}"
  full_name = "${data.github_repositories.providers.full_names[count.index]}"
}

output "clone_urls" {
  value = "${data.github_repository.provider.*.ssh_clone_url}"
}

clone_urls = [
    git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-vault.git,
    git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-github.git,
    git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-cloudflare.git,
...
]

or manage team permissions:

data "github_repositories" "example" {
  search_query = "user:terraform-providers language:Go"
}

resource "github_team_repository" "some_team_repo" {
  count     = "${length(data.github_repositories.providers.names)}"

  team_id    = "${github_team.example.id}"
  repository = "${data.github_repositories.providers.names[count.index]}"
  permission = "pull"
}

What do you think? Would that satisfy your use cases?
