Uses the real parse_args() function to get CLI defaults, so when
new arguments are added they're automatically available to all tests.
Changes:
- Add tests/conftest.py with create_args fixture
- Update 8 test files to use shared fixture
- Remove duplicate _create_mock_args methods
- Remove redundant @pytest.fixture mock_args definitions
This eliminates the need to update multiple test files when
adding new CLI arguments.
Fine-grained personal access tokens cannot download attachments from
private repositories directly due to a GitHub platform limitation.
This adds a workaround for image attachments (/assets/ URLs) using
GitHub's Markdown API to convert URLs to JWT-signed URLs that can be
downloaded without authentication.
Changes:
- Add get_jwt_signed_url_via_markdown_api() function
- Detect fine-grained token + private repo + /assets/ URL upfront
- Use JWT workaround for those cases, mark success with jwt_workaround flag
- Skip download with skipped_at when workaround fails
- Add startup warning when using --attachments with fine-grained tokens
- Document limitation in README (file attachments still fail)
- Add 6 unit tests for JWT workaround logic
Allow users to skip starred repositories exceeding a size threshold
when using --all-starred. Size is specified in MB and checked against
the GitHub API's repository size field.
- Only affects starred repos; user's own repos always included
- Logs each skipped repo with name and size
Closes#108
Refactors error handling to retry all 5xx errors (not just 502), network errors (URLError, socket.error, IncompleteRead), and JSON parse errors with exponential backoff and jitter. Respects retry-after and rate limit headers per GitHub API requirements. Consolidates retry logic into make_request_with_retry() wrapper and adds clear logging for retry attempts and failures. Removes dead code from 2016 (errors list, _request_http_error, _request_url_error) that was intentionally disabled in commit 1e5a9048 to fix#29.
Fixes#140, #110, #138
Allow users to skip downloading release assets for specific repositories
while still backing up release metadata. Useful for starred repos with
large assets (e.g. syncthing with 27GB+).
Usage: --skip-assets-on repo1 repo2 owner/repo3
Features:
- Space-separated repos (consistent with --exclude)
- Case-insensitive matching
- Supports both repo name and owner/repo format
This change reduces unnecessary writes when backing up metadata that changes
infrequently. The implementation compares existing file content before writing
and skips the write if the content is identical, preserving file timestamps.
Key changes:
- Added json_dump_if_changed() helper that compares content before writing
- Uses atomic writes (temp file + rename) for all metadata files
- NOT applied to issues/pulls (they use incremental_by_files logic)
- Made log messages consistent and past tense ("Saved" instead of "Saving")
- Added informative logging showing skip counts
Fixes#133
In making my last fix to attachments, I found it challenging not
having tests to ensure there was no regression.
Added pytest with minimal setup and isolated configuration. Created
a separate test workflow to keep tests isolated from linting.
Tests cover the key elements of the attachment logic:
- URL extraction from issue bodies
- Filename extraction from different URL types
- Filename collision resolution
- Manifest duplicate prevention
