This repository is the home of the tool that will query the GitHub API for the Iris issues that have been voted on and update a json file held in the repo. This json file may then be used in the Iris documentation to view the voted issues.

This tool is run via a GitHub Action named refresh-voted-issues.yml This is essentially a workaround as the GitHub Issue browser on the web site only allows sorting by the number of comments, not by the number of likes on the issue header.

• pyGitHub. See https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html

In order to run successfully the GH_TOKEN shell variable needs to be a valid GItHub token value.
