Detect missing and misspelled repos

[Stebalien]

Sure. I'll take a stab at it.

https://github.com/protocol/.github/blob/master/.github/workflows/stale-repos.yml should catch those. Doesn't it?

The typo fix was less than an hour after the line was added, but the check runs every 6h. I assume we can't run it more often without starting to run into rate limits. I'd say this is working as intended - we would have caught the typo within hours.

We could run it a lot more often, this job just takes 30s, so there's no risk of being rate-limited here, even if we ran it every 30 min or so (I assume).

I'd say this is working as intended - we would have caught the typo within hours.

We should probably run this job on pull_request too (or only?), that would've caught the problem immediately.

SGTM, we don't have that many PRs anyway.

[Stebalien]

Running on PR is what I'm looking for. But can we just check changed lines? I.e., diff the json files and check any added repos?

[marten-seemann]

Right, we still need to run it as a cron, as repos might be deleted at any time.

But can we just check changed lines? I.e., diff the json files and check any added repos?

That should be possible, but it might be a bit tricky to parse the diff between two JSON versions.

[Stebalien]

Eh, I'd parse the json first, then use something like comm to compare.

[marten-seemann]

TIL: comm :) That definitely makes more sense.

Would you mind updating the workflow?
