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.
