codacy-config-distributor

Distributes a shared .codacy.yaml to the root of every repository listed in repos.txt, by committing directly to each repo's default branch.

How it works

• .codacy.yaml — the template config. Edit this file to change what gets deployed to every target repo.
• repos.txt — one target repo per line, as group/subgroup/project (the path portion of its GitLab URL). Blank lines and # comments are ignored.
• deploy-config.sh — for each repo in repos.txt, shallow-clones it, overwrites .codacy.yaml, and commits + pushes only if the file changed. Continues past per-repo failures and exits non-zero if any repo failed.
• .gitlab-ci.yml — a single manual deploy-config job that runs the script. Trigger it from the GitLab pipeline UI whenever you want to push the current .codacy.yaml out to all listed repos.

Setup

1. Create a GitLab group access token with write_repository scope (or a personal access token with equivalent rights) covering all target repos.
2. Add it as a masked, protected CI/CD variable named CODACY_DEPLOY_TOKEN on this project (Settings → CI/CD → Variables).
3. Add target repos to repos.txt.
4. Run the deploy-config job manually from a pipeline.

Notes

• This pipeline only runs on GitLab CI. Target repos are assumed to live on GitLab (CI_SERVER_HOST), since deploy-config.sh clones over https://oauth2:<token>@<gitlab-host>/<repo>.git.
• If this source repo is also mirrored to GitHub, that mirror is for hosting only — GitHub Actions does not run .gitlab-ci.yml.
