Write script to repost github issues on lemmy

To create a Python script that fetches GitHub issues from the LemmyNet/lemmy and LemmyNet/lemmy-ui repositories and posts them to https://lemm.ee/c/issue_tracker, you can use the Pythorhead library[2] to interact with Lemmy and the GitHub REST API[3][6] to fetch the issues.

First, install the Pythorhead library:

pip install pythorhead

Then, create a Python script with the following code:

import requests
from pythorhead import Lemmy

# GitHub API base URL
GITHUB_API_BASE = "https://api.github.com"

# Lemmy instance URL and credentials
LEMMY_URL = "https://lemm.ee"
LEMMY_USERNAME = "your_username"
LEMMY_PASSWORD = "your_password"

# Repositories to fetch issues from
REPOSITORIES = [
    "LemmyNet/lemmy",
    "LemmyNet/lemmy-ui"
]

# Function to fetch issues from a GitHub repository
def fetch_github_issues(repo):
    url = f"{GITHUB_API_BASE}/repos/{repo}/issues"
    headers = {"Accept": "application/vnd.github+json"}
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    return response.json()

# Initialize Lemmy instance and log in
lemmy = Lemmy(LEMMY_URL)
lemmy.log_in(LEMMY_USERNAME, LEMMY_PASSWORD)

# Discover the issue_tracker community
community_id = lemmy.discover_community("issue_tracker")

# Fetch and post issues
for repo in REPOSITORIES:
    issues = fetch_github_issues(repo)
    for issue in issues:
        # Extract issue information
        issue_url = issue["html_url"]
        issue_title = f"[{repo.split('/')[1]}][{issue['title']}] #{issue['number']}"
        issue_body = issue["body"]

        # Post the issue to Lemmy
        lemmy.post.create(community_id, issue_title, url=issue_url, body=issue_body)

Replace your_username and your_password with your Lemmy credentials. This script fetches issues from the specified repositories and posts them to the issue_tracker community on Lemmy.

Please note that this script will post all the issues at once, which may not be ideal for a real-world scenario. You might want to add some logic to handle pagination, rate limiting, and posting only new issues.
