[SOLVED] Moving issues from excel to github organization

Moving issues from excel to github organization

I am trying to move a bunch of issues from excel to GitHub issues.

The problem I am encountering is that I can not figure out how to use get an access token for an organization in order to automate pushing the issues to GitHub.

I tried to make an OAuth token for that organization but I keep getting an bad credential error.

Solution

Make sure your OAuth token has a "repo" scopr.

Then try creating a new issue (as in this gist)

curl -X "POST" "https://api.github.com/repos/rickcogley/REPONAME/issues?state=all" \
     -H "Cookie: logged_in=no" \
     -H "Authorization: token THEd13GITHUBfb87TOKENa4FROM5eSETTINGS" \
     -H "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8" \
     -d $'{
  "title": "A workflow alerts Operator who performs a process",
  "body": "TBD",
  "milestone": 5,
  "assignees": [
    "RickCogley",
    "NathanielPhillips"
  ],
  "labels": [
    "story",
    "#2",
    "enhancement",
    "production"
  ]
}'
