How To Enable Python Upgrade Automation
#######################################

This How-to will walk you through the process of getting the automated Python
requirements upgrade jobs setup on a repository.

Assumptions
***********

* You know how to use Git and GitHub PR Workflows.

* You have ``admin`` access to the repository.

Steps
*****

1. Replace ``<repo_name>`` with the name of your repository in the following URL
   and go to it:

   .. code::

      https://github.com/openedx/<repo_name>/actions/new?category=owner

2. Click :guilabel:`Configure` on the ``Python Requirements Upgrade Workflow``
   card.

3. Review the contents of the GitHub action, make any changes that you might want
   to make.  If you're not sure, the defaults work fine for most use cases.

   * If you are applying changes to a newer repo, you may have ``main`` as your
     default branch instead of ``master``.  In which case you should update the
     workflow.

4. Commit the changes to a branch and get the PR reviewed and merged.

5. Next, add the `edx-requirements-bot` team to your repository with ``write``
   permissions.  It will be at the following url with ``<repo_name>`` replaced
   with your actual repository name.

   .. code::

      https://github.com/openedx/<repo_name>/settings/access
