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.
