Find out who is the admin(s) for a git repo

Question

I am a contributor for a git repo in github for a company.

I want to find out who among the contributors are the admins.

How do I find out who is the admin besides going around and asking everyone in the company?

Answer 1

If you have push access to this repository, you can use Github API to find collaborators

You will need an access token, the endpoint https://api.github.com/repos/ORG/REPO/collaborators gives you a list of all collaborators with the list of permission type for each of them :

"permissions": {     "admin": true,     "push": true,     "pull": true   } 

You can use curl and jq (to parse JSON response) like this :

curl https://api.github.com/repos/ORG/REPO/collaborators \      -H "Authorization: Token ACCESS_TOKEN" | \      jq '[ .[] | select(.permissions.admin == true) | .login ]' 

Answer 2

You can also use the v4 (GraphQL) API for this:

query {    repository (owner:"ORG",name:"REPO") {     collaborators (first:100) {       totalCount       edges {               permission         node {           login           name           }       }       pageInfo {         endCursor         hasNextPage       }     }   } } 

and look for results that have "permission": "ADMIN"
