CODEOWNERS GitHub CLI extension

Lint your CODEOWNERS file.

Install

Make sure you have version 2.0 or newer of the GitHub CLI installed.

gh extension install heaths/gh-codeowners

Upgrade

The gh extension list command shows if updates are available for extensions. To upgrade, you can use the gh extension upgrade command:

gh extension upgrade heaths/gh-codeowners

# Or upgrade all extensions:
gh extension upgrade --all

When used in Continuous Integration, starting with gh version 2.25.0, you can install or upgrade the extension with a single command:

gh extension install --force heaths/gh-codeowners

Usage

Lint

Render a list of errors based on the current branch's CODEOWNERS errors reported by GitHub:

gh codeowners lint

You can also get a sorted list of unknown owners or just return the raw JSON:

gh codeowners lint --json
gh codeowners lint --unknown-owners

PR

To see the codeowners for each file in a pull request:

gh codeowners pr 123

The output is rendered as colorful, formatted JSON in terminals but will be compact JSON when piped to another program like jq:

# Check for added files.
gh codeowners pr 123 | jq '.[] | select(.changeType=="ADDED")'

View

To render your CODEOWNERS file with errors reported by GitHub:

gh codeowners view

Configuration

This extension will render colors whenever possible and, in some scenarios like when printing a list of errors, maybe change the format to prefer colors over markers that may work better only for non-colored text.

You can override these colors on the command line (pass --help for details) or permanently with a configuration file located under your home directory on all platforms: ~/.config/gh-codeowners/config.yml

color:
  comment: "#6A9955"
  error:   "#F44747"
