Ability to use a common org-wide yaml config?

[aaronsteers]

Hello! We've been using this app happily for quite a while now and we want to expand to have it enabled on all repos in our org.

Would it be possible for the GitHub App to look for org-wide config defaults in a specific repo within the org?

So the decision tree would then be:

1. If the repo has a semantic.yml file, use it.
2. Else if the org has a centrally available semantic.yml file, use it.
3. Else, use the GitHub App defaults.

Hey @aaronsteers!

I think that this should already be supported, based on Probot's docs here

So you'd create a new repo within the org that's called .github and put the config in the .github/semantic.yml directory, as usual. This should follow the decision tree that you listed above, although I haven't tested this myself so if it doesn't work as expected then let me know and I'll look into it further :)

Very cool! We'll try this out and report back. Thanks, @Ezard

UPDATE: WIP here:

• feat: Shared global Semantic PR config for MeltanoLabs MeltanoLabs/.github#3

@aaronsteers did everything work as expected for you?

[aaronsteers]

It worked great! Thank you! 🙏

Solution was as easy as putting the config file in a repo called .github.
