Sync GitHub Issues with Asana Board Tasks

A full stack developer gives a tutorial on how to connect GitHub and Asana so that issues boards are automatically updated with GitHub issues.

GitHub issues are a great way to keep track of enhancements, bugs, and tasks for your project. It provides a forum-like space for outside developers to give feedback. It’s a great tool for smaller teams to keep track of tasks, but, as your product grows, and more repositories are made, going back and forth between repositories for task management is just not ideal.

Most teams are using project management tools like Asana. But what about the bug tracking from the repositories? It would be quite bothersome to scroll through and find all ‘bug’ labeled issues and then add them onto an Asana board. Is there a way to synchronize GitHub issues to be automatically added as a task on Asana? Certainly, there are a number of solutions that can be found on the web.

Having one platform to track all project tasks and bug reports would create a much more efficient workflow for the entire team. In this article, we’ll see a bi-directional sync between Asana and GitHub. To keep things simple, any new issues created on GitHub with the label of ‘bug’ will automatically be added as a task on Asana, if the task is marked as complete on Asana, the issue will be closed on GitHub’s end. This will be a great starting point to show how easily customizable it is for you and your team’s needs.

In this example, you will not only learn how to integrate these, but also see how you can customize the integration to fit your team’s workflow using Reshuffle.

Reshuffle is an open source, lightweight, and event-driven framework that helps you integrate services — these integrations and workflows are created inside a Reshuffle App. The objects that let you interact with these services are called connectors.

Prerequisites

Before we jump in with the code, we’ll need to get credentials set up with GitHub and Asana.

GitHub:

Log in and generate a token here.
Save the token somewhere, as you’ll need it soon.

Asana:

Log in and go here.
Under Personal Access Token’ > + New Access Token
Name the token and save the token somewhere, you’ll use it soon.
You’ll need the workspace ID. To find this, go to the Asana Admin Console page and it will be in the URL:

How to Build It

To get started, we first need to bring in the required packages to build this example. Then initiate a Reshuffle app and configure the GitHub and Asana connectors with the credentials we saved earlier.

Spring: A Static Web Site Generator Written By GitHub Issues

Spring

Spring is a blog engine written by GitHub Issues, or is a simple, static web site generator. No more server and database, you can setup it in free hosting with GitHub Pages as a repository, then post the blogs in the repository Issues.

You can add some labels in your repository Issues as the blog category, and create Issues for writing blog content through Markdown.

Spring has responsive templates, looking good on mobile, tablet, and desktop.Gracefully degrading in older browsers. Compatible with Internet Explorer 10+ and all modern browsers.

Get up and running in seconds.

中文介绍

Quick start guide

For the impatient, here's how to get a Spring blog site up and running.

First of all

Fork the Spring repository as yours.
Goto your repository settings page to rename Repository Name.
Hosted directly on GitHub Pages from your project repository, you can take it as User or organization site or Project site(create a gh-pages branch).
Also, you can set up a custom domain with Pages.

Secondly

Open the index.html file to edit the config variables with yours below.

$.extend(spring.config, {
  // my blog title
  title: 'Spring',
  // my blog description
  desc: "A blog engine written by github issues [Fork me on GitHub](https://github.com/zhaoda/spring)",
  // my github username
  owner: 'zhaoda',
  // creator's username
  creator: 'zhaoda',
  // the repository name on github for writting issues
  repo: 'spring',
  // custom page
  pages: [
  ]
})

Put your domain into the CNAME file if you have.
Commit your change and push it.

And then

Goto your repository settings page to turn on the Issues feature.
Browser this repository's issues page, like this https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name/issues?state=open.
Click the New Issue button to just write some content as a new one blog.

Finally

Browser this repository's GitHub Pages url, like this http://your-username.github.io/your-repo-name, you will see your Spring blog, have a test.
And you're done!

Custom development

Installation

You will need a web server installed on your system, for example, Nginx, Apache etc.
Configure your spring project to your local web server directory.
Run and browser it, like http://localhost/spring/dev.html .
dev.html is used to develop, index.html is used to runtime.

Jupyter Notebook Kernel for Running ansible Tasks and Playbooks

Ansible Jupyter Kernel

Example Jupyter Usage

The Ansible Jupyter Kernel adds a kernel backend for Jupyter to interface directly with Ansible and construct plays and tasks and execute them on the fly.

Demo

Installation:

ansible-kernel is available to be installed from pypi but you can also install it locally. The setup package itself will register the kernel with Jupyter automatically.

From pypi

pip install ansible-kernel
python -m ansible_kernel.install

From a local checkout

pip install -e .
python -m ansible_kernel.install

For Anaconda/Miniconda

pip install ansible-kernel
python -m ansible_kernel.install --sys-prefix

Usage

Local install

    jupyter notebook
    # In the notebook interface, select Ansible from the 'New' menu

Container

docker run -p 8888:8888 benthomasson/ansible-jupyter-kernel

Then copy the URL from the output into your browser:
http://localhost:8888/?token=ABCD1234

Using the Cells

Normally Ansible brings together various components in different files and locations to launch a playbook and performs automation tasks. For this jupyter interface you need to provide this information in cells by denoting what the cell contains and then finally writing your tasks that will make use of them. There are Examples available to help you, in this section we'll go over the currently supported cell types.

In order to denote what the cell contains you should prefix it with a pound/hash symbol (#) and the type as listed here as the first line as shown in the examples below.

#inventory

The inventory that your tasks will use

#inventory
[all]
ahost ansible_connection=local
anotherhost examplevar=val

#play

This represents the opening block of a typical Ansible play

#play
name: Hello World
hosts: all
gather_facts: false

#task

This is the default cell type if no type is given for the first line

#task
debug:

#task
shell: cat /tmp/afile
register: output

#host_vars

This takes an argument that represents the hostname. Variables defined in this file will be available in the tasks for that host.

#host_vars Host1
hostname: host1

#group_vars

This takes an argument that represents the group name. Variables defined in this file will be available in the tasks for hosts in that group.

#group_vars BranchOfficeX
gateway: 192.168.1.254

#vars

This takes an argument that represents the filename for use in later cells

#vars example_vars
message: hello vars

#play
name: hello world
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars_files:
    - example_vars

#template

This takes an argument in order to create a templated file that can be used in later cells

#template hello.j2
{{ message }}

#task
template:
    src: hello.j2
    dest: /tmp/hello

#ansible.cfg

Provides overrides typically found in ansible.cfg

#ansible.cfg
[defaults]
host_key_checking=False

Examples

You can find various example notebooks in the repository

Using the development environment

It's possible to use whatever python development process you feel comfortable with. The repository itself includes mechanisms for using pipenv

pipenv install
...
pipenv shell

Stay Safe on GitHub: Security Practices to Follow

gthen Access Controls

Implementing proper access control is one of the best practices for enhancing security, not only on GitHub but in every other environment where code security is imperative.

GitHub offers several options that users can employ to reduce the risk of improper exposure. But to start with, it is important to employ the least privilege model where users are only granted necessary permissions.

Here are some basic access control guidelines that you should follow:

Restrict the creation of repositories to prevent users from exposing organization information in public repositories.
Enable branch protection and status checks to ensure users can merge commits or manipulate branches safely.
Allow or disallow forking private repositories to ensure users do not expose or share organizational code with unauthorized parties.
Revoke access for all inactive users who are no longer part of the contributors.
Review access rights to your GitHub projects periodically.
Ensure users do not share GitHub accounts or passwords.
Ensure every contributor uses two-factor authentication on their account.
Rotate personal access tokens and SSH keys

Never Store Credentials in Your GitHub Files

Leaking secrets to your GitHub repositories, either through code, configuration files, or commit messages, provides a gateway for attacks.
