How to accept an invitation automatically to a GitHub repository?-CodePudding

Monthly I receive several invitations to be a collaborator of several Github repositories, unfortunately sometimes I miss the 7 days time to accept the invitations and as a consequence the invitations expire, making it impossible for me to access the repositories

I have tried to automate the invitations through GitHubActions but there is no such option.

Please, does anyone know how I can automate the acceptance of the invitations, so they will not expire after 7 days, which is the maximum time that Github grants before the invitations expire?

You can test out the GitHub Action kbrashears5/github-action-auto-accept-collabs which should auto accept all collaboration invites.

It does:

get all repository invites for [${USERNAME}]

curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3 json" -u ${USERNAME}:${GITHUB_TOKEN} \
     --silent ${GITHUB_API_URL}/user/repository_invitations | \
jq '.[].id'

Accept each invite:

curl -d @- \
      -X PATCH \
      -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3 json" \
      -u ${USERNAME}:${GITHUB_TOKEN} \
      --silent \
      ${GITHUB_API_URL}/user/repository_invitations/${invite}
