The Power is a collection of scripts that demonstrate the GitHub APIs to create a usefully configured GitHub organization. The Power adds the following to a blank appliance or organization in <=30 seconds:

• Users
• A team of users.
• A private repository named testrepo with a branch called new_branch, a protected branch called protected_branch
• Branch protection rules set up on protected_branch.
• A pull request on testrepo.
• A working CODEOWNERS file configured for the README.md file on testrepo.
• A requirements.txt file with vulnerabilities to trigger Dependabot
• A webhook on testrepo that outputs to a smee.io url.
• A Release.
• GitHub Pages configured for testrepo.
• A GitHub Gist.
• Mermaid diagrams using create-commit-mermaid.sh that demos some example diagram types on the mermaid project.

There are many other features and test-cases you can use or adapt to build scenarios of your own.

• Designed to be as simple as possible to understand.
• Almost exclusively uses only curl and jq to complete most tasks. Only a few of the more complex scenarios have other dependencies.

There are hundreds of pre-baked scripts to:

• Create commits, secrets, hooks, issue comments, environments.
• Bulk up your appliance by creating hundreds or thousands of users/orgs/repos/teams/pull requests.
• Set up a Tiny GitHub App in less than 1 minute.
• Demonstrate GitHub Actions Workflows.
• Demonstrate CodeQL.

The Power is driven by it's configuration file .gh-api.examples.conf. You can edit this to create new organizations, teams, users to use in test cases.
