NAME

       gitriddance - closes all open issues and pull requests

SYNOPSIS

       gitriddance [comment]

DESCRIPTION

       gitriddance  closes  all  open  issues and pull requests on GitHub. This is useful for projects that have
       their own issue trackers, patch submission systems etc, rather than relying on GitHub's, which many of us
       find to be clumsy, slow, proprietary, and encouraging of drive-by pull requests of poor quality.

       It should be run in a git repository that was cloned from GitHub. It looks at the origin remote  to  find
       the  repository  on  GitHub. All open issues and pull requests will have a comment posted to them, and be
       closed.

       The text of the comment is either passed as a command-line parameter, or can  be  configured  by  setting
       core.gitriddance. For example:

              git config core.gitriddance "Please submit patches to http://ikiwiki.info/todo/"

       In  order  for  gitriddance  to  log  into  GitHub,  you  need to set the GITHUB_USER and GITHUB_PASSWORD
       environment variables.  Or, set GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN to an oath or personal access token.
