Read all custom properties and values from all repos in the organization and write to a file.

This action uses the GitHub CLI to read all properties from all repos in the organization. It can write the results to a repo-properties.yaml file as well, for use with input to update custom properties action.

1. Add this GitHub Action to your workflow.
2. Run the workflow. A new commit will be generated on the branch you run it from containing the repo-properties.yaml file.

To run the action within your GitHub CI/CD pipeline you will need to create a fine-grained token with the following permissions:

• Read access to organization custom properties

• Read access to Repository Metadata
• Read and Write access to Repository contents

• GitHub API for custom property for an organization
• Fine-grained personal access tokens
• The owner of the fine-grained token must have full administrative rights to the organization.
