[SOLVED] Find out the admin(s) for a git repo

Find out the admin(s) for a git repo

I am a contributor for a git repo in github for a company.

I want to find out who among the contributors are the admins.

How do I find out who is the admin besides going around and asking everyone in the company?

Solution

If you have push access to this repository, you can use Github API to find collaborators

You will need an access token, the endpoint https://api.github.com/repos/ORG/REPO/collaborators gives you a list of all collaborators with the list of permission type for each of them :

"permissions": {
    "admin": true,
    "push": true,
    "pull": true
  }

You can use curl and jq (to parse JSON response) like this :

curl https://api.github.com/repos/ORG/REPO/collaborators \
     -H "Authorization: Token ACCESS_TOKEN" | \
     jq '[ .[] | select(.permissions.admin == true) | .login ]'
