git2jss

A fast asynchronous python library for syncing your scripts in git with your JSS easily. This allows admins to keep their script in a version control system for easy updating rather than googling and copy-pasting from resources that they find online.

Getting Started

1. Fork the Project
2. Install Python version 3.6 or higher. (this is because of the async requirements)
3. Run python3.6 -m pip install -r requirements.txt to install required modules
4. Run ./tools/download.py --url https://your.jss.url:8443 --username api_user to download all scripts and extension attributes to the repository
5. Run ./sync.py --url https://your.jss.url:8443 --username api_user to sync all scripts back to your JSS

Optional flags for download.py:

• --password for CI/CD (Will prompt for password if not set)
• --do_not_verify_ssl to skip ssl verification
• --overwrite to overwrite all scripts and extension attributes

Optional flags for sync.py:

• --password for CI/CD (Will prompt for password if not set)
• --do_not_verify_ssl to skip ssl verification
• --overwrite to overwrite all scripts and extension attributes
• --limit to limit max connections (default=25)
• --timeout to limit max connections (default=60)
• --verbose to add additional logging
• --update_all to upload all resources in ./extension_attributes and ./scripts
• --jenkins to write a Jenkins file:jenkins.properties with $scripts and $eas and compare $GIT_PREVIOUS_COMMIT with $GIT_COMMIT

Prerequisites

git2jss requires Python 3.6 and the python modules listed in requirements.txt

Deployment

The project can be ran ad-hoc with the example listed above, but ideally you setup webhooks and integrate into a CI/CD pipeline so each time a push is made to the repo your scripts are re-uploaded to the JSS.
