About:
Otterdog is an infrastructure-as-code management tool designed for GitHub organizations. It allows users to define and enforce configuration for repositories, teams, and settings using declarative JSON files. This enables scalable, consistent, and automated management of complex GitHub setups.
Key Features:
  • Declarative configuration management
  • Automated enforcement of organization policies
  • Support for multiple GitHub organizations
  • Integration with CI/CD pipelines
Use Cases:
  • Enforcing security policies across all repositories in an organization
  • Automating the onboarding of new teams and repositories with standard configurations
Alternatives:
  • GitHub CLI – Otterdog provides automated, policy-as-code enforcement, whereas the CLI is primarily for manual, ad-hoc interactions.
  • Terraform – Otterdog is purpose-built specifically for the GitHub API and its nuances, while Terraform is a general-purpose IaC tool requiring provider-specific configuration.
