SCM-manager CLI to set branch write protection

Question

I have downloaded SCM-manager-CLI

I need to set the branch write protection for GIT repository in SCM-manager through CLI

I have set the same through web-app

I need to do that through CLI as a part of Automation

How to do that?

Hi the cli has currently no support for properties, but you can use the rest api to set the properties:

curl -u scmadmin:scmadmin -v http://localhost:8080/scm/api/rest/repositories -XPOST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
  "name": "newrepository",
  "description": "repository with branch protection",
  "type": "git",
  "properties": [
    { "key": "branchwp.enabled", "value": true },
    { "key": "branchwp.permissions", "value": "master,userone;develop,@devgroup;" }
  ],
  "permissions": [
    { "name": "userone", "type": "WRITE", "groupPermission": false },
    { "name": "devgroup", "type": "WRITE", "groupPermission": true }
  ]
}'

The example above creates a new repository with enabled branch protection.
