At the moment for a Github organisation of mine, potential members have to be manually searched for an added. Is there way a to make your Github Organization public, so people can easily and automagically join your cause?
I am a beginner with Github, but have searched a lot and they don't seem to have this feature. Is it a plugin anywhere?
I see 2 problems, either of which would be nice to fix.
Why can't users request an invite to your organisation, even if you have to manually approve?
Why can't I send out bulk invites to say an email list? Or can I do this?
Thanks Stack Overflow
I don't know why Github doesn't offer anything like this functionality. Github Organisations seem still kind of underdone, and I look forward to them making them more useful. For the moment I have something which can help you with one of your problems.
Second Problem: Bulk Invites
After needing bulk invite students for a university club I am a part of, I created thundergolfer/automated-github-organisation-invites. It's a Heroku deploy-able web app that allows anyone with access to the URL to get themselves an organisation invite automatically.
It uses the Github API to do basically what you need. You can send out a bulk email with a link to the web app. Job Done.
First Problem: Users requesting invites
The problem with the above solution is that you don't get a chance to review who requests an invite. They are automatically added. Perhaps when I get time in the future I can extend the project above to allow you to capture requests and then review them before sending out the email.
I am not sure about the first point. But the second point should be no problem. You can use the GitHub API to invite members to your organisation. You can read more about it here:
https://developer.github.com/v3/orgs/members/#add-a-member
If using GitHub classroom then you can solve both problems. In the classroom you can add multiple email invites at the same time (or link with a LMS to get the list of people to invite automatically, both are explained here). You can also create an assignment and end up with a link that can be sent to people to join. Within an assignment there can be auto Team and Repo creation.
With your second problem another option is a python script that can bulk invite users to a GitHub organisation:

Is there any way that we can collect data by asking the questions when someone wants to join the group. And we collect the data when we approve the joining request or sometimes programmatically?
Could you please elaborate on how we can use Facebook GRAPH API for fulfilling the above purpose?
Check out GroupTrack CRM...it's a CRM that is integrated into Facebook via a Chrome Extension. It does exactly what you asked (one click to approve individual or all pending members while also saving their answers to your questions and adding them to the CRM), along with a ton of other awesome stuff.
Keep notes and tags, track sales funnel stages, bookmark posts and comments, set follow up tasks with reminders, and more across unlimited Groups. Everything is synced in real time with a web app as well, so you can access your contact information from anywhere, plus it can be set up to integrate with external systems (Google Sheets, Streak, and Kartra at the moment, but many more to come).
Lastly, GroupTrack supports teams, so if you run a Group with other admins, you can share access to the CRM and have everything kept in sync. It's awesome!
I receive emails from a couple of Azure DevOps environments, my company system and a suppliers system. I had rules for the email notifications to move them based on the From address, which was different. Now all the emails come from azuredevops#microsoft.com.
Does anyone know if there is any way to easily distinguish where the email has come from ?
Is it possible to change the From address used by DevOps? I don't believe it is possible to customise the body, and basing the filter on the body is too much maintenance
Thanks in advance
Is it possible to change the From address used by DevOps?
The answer is No. The notification from could not be modified by users.
But, I can get what you are suffering. While have the notification emails comes from several organizations, its too messy to know exactly where they come from.
Now, for build or release notification emails, you can create filter subject rules to distinguish them. Because in the subject of email which about build or release, it contains the info of organization name.
But, unfortunately, until now, the org info just displayed in build and release notification. And also you could not customize the email content of notification.
You can raise the demand to Microsoft Developer Community, follow and vote it.
When there are enough communities vote and add comments for this feedback, the product team member will take this feedback seriously.
I have found a work around in order to filter my emails, in case anyone else has the same issue.
The emails contain links to take you to the work item or other DevOps page that the email is related to. I've been able to create a filter based on the Url that the link is pointing to, so I'm looking for the specific DevOps URL in the Body of the message, as filing the email based on that. It seems to work for my requirements at least.
I'm looking for a way to add a list of participants to a GitHub Issue using the GitHub API.
I have tried:
Assigning the issue through the GitHub API.
Works, adding participants, but may be too direct, and there is a limit of 10 assignees.
#mentioning users in the description and a comment.
Does not add participants
My end goal here is to create an issue representing an deploy and #mention everyone who has a PR being deployed so that they know to help test. I'd like everyone to get a GitHub notification about the issue as it is created. Adding them to the list of participants seems like it should be the best way to accomplish this.
I have 3 related github repos, with associated issue trackers. I'd like to get email when anything happens in the issues, but not whenever someone pushes, or makes a pull request. I don't see the ability to control notifications at this level of granularity.
I know that I can unsubscribe from specific threads, but that doesn't give me what I want either.
Alternatively, if there was a way to tell which type of notification it is in the email, so I can set up a filter, that would be fine too. However, I haven't been able to determine a consistent difference on that front either.
That's not possible currently using the features GitHub offers. However it may be possible using GitHub API.
I'd like to get email when anything happens in the issues, but not whenever someone pushes, or makes a pull request.
All Pull requests are issues but not all issues are Pull requests. That's being said, you cannot [currently] unsubscribe from pull requests and get the issues, since the pull requests are issues.
Since you are developer you can develop your own app to notify you (send you emails) when new issues are opened to specific projects.
Taking IonicaBizau/git-stats as example, you can access the issues like this:
https://api.github.com/repos/ionicabizau/git-stats/issues
You will get 304 Not Modified if there are no new issues. That way you can check if there were added new issues or not. Checking if the issue is pull request is done by checking if there is a pull_request field in the object, like mentioned here.
An alternative that I just found, is the Message-ID field of the email. the pull and merge emails all have <org/repo/pull/....> the issue emails have <org/repo/issue/....> so, I can filter on the Message-ID field.
I'm actually a bit embarrassed to be asking this question since it seems like such a simple thing but here goes:
I've recently signed up with Google Consumer Surveys and want to take advantage of their survey monetizing and become a survey publisher. We had an existing adsense account and applied to become a survey publisher. Eventually we ended up at their publisher settings page which provided us snippets of code to insert into our site. We did so and initially survey questions appeared and it seemed to work, however after it asked us a few generic test questions it has refused to serve up another one. On top of that we continue to see a reference to a 'reporting dashboard' as seen here. However it is not clear how one goes about accessing this dashboard.
So a couple questions:
1) do we need to be 'accepted' by GCS before we will see a dashboard, and if so how do you access the dashboard?
2) is there a way to ensure that testing survey questions will continue to be provided even though we have not been officially approved?
Thanks.
So here are things that might be of help.
1) You don't need to be accepted/approved to have access, just be sure to be logged in with the email account you used in signing up. I believe there is an email sent to you after signing up with GCS that contains the link to your reporting dashboard. Once you access the reporting dashboard you'll see that it says "under evaluation". Once your site is approved you will start to serve paid surveys and see the reports in the dashboard.
2) The questions/survey will continue to prompt once you have implemented the GCS code up until you are approved.
You may also want to contact the support team of GCS publishers through this link. Just click on the contact us button on the description below "add surveys to your site" button.
Hope this helps!
