InvenioRDM GitHub Archiver_images/cloud-upload.svg

InvenioRDM is the basis for many institutional repositories such as CaltechDATA that enable users to preserve software and data sets in long-term archive. Though such repositories are critical resources, creating detailed records and uploading assets can be a tedious and error-prone process if done manually. This is where the InvenioRDM GitHub Archiver (IGA) comes in.

IGA creates metadata records and sends releases from GitHub to an InvenioRDM-based repository server. IGA can be invoked from the command line; it also can be set up as a GitHub Action to archive GitHub releases automatically for a repository each time they are made.

IGA sends metadata and assets from GitHub to an InvenioRDM server.
