Refactored 8 high-complexity functions (complexity 8-21) into focused helper functions with single responsibilities. Maximum production code complexity reduced from 21 to 8.

Changes

Repository fetching functions

  • getGithubRepositories (21→3): Extracted getGithubUserRepositories, shouldSkipGithubRepo, buildGithubRepository
  • getGitlabRepositories (17→2): Extracted buildGitlabListOptions, getGitlabVisibility, fetchGitlabProjects, buildGitlabRepository
  • getBitbucketRepositories (13→3): Extracted fetchBitbucketRepositoriesFromWorkspaces, fetchBitbucketWorkspaceRepositories, buildBitbucketRepository

Migration functions

  • handleGithubCreateUserMigration (11→2): Extracted createUserMigration, processOrganizationMigrations, createOrganizationMigration
  • downloadGithubUserMigrationData (10→2): Extracted pollUserMigrationStatus
  • downloadGithubOrgMigrationData (9→2): Extracted pollOrgMigrationStatus
  • Added defaultMigrationPollingInterval constant to replace magic number

Utility functions

  • getUsername (8→5): Converted to switch statement, extracted getGithubUsername, getGitlabUsername, getBitbucketUsername
  • cloneNewRepo (8→3): Extracted shouldSkipPrivateRepo, buildAuthenticatedCloneURL, buildGitCloneCommand

Example

Before:

func getGithubRepositories(client interface{}, ...) ([]*Repository, error) {
    // 50+ lines with nested loops, conditionals, and multiple responsibilities
    for {
        repos, resp, err := client.Repositories.List(...)
        for _, repo := range repos {
            if *repo.Fork && ignoreFork { continue }
            if len(githubNamespaceWhitelist) > 0 && !contains(...) { continue }
            var httpsCloneURL, sshCloneURL string
            if repo.CloneURL != nil { httpsCloneURL = *repo.CloneURL }
            // ... more inline logic
        }
    }
}

After:

func getGithubRepositories(client interface{}, ...) ([]*Repository, error) {
    if githubRepoType == "starred" {
        return getGithubStarredRepositories(ctx, client, ignoreFork)
    }
    return getGithubUserRepositories(ctx, client, githubRepoType, githubNamespaceWhitelist, ignoreFork)
}

func shouldSkipGithubRepo(repo *github.Repository, namespaceWhitelist []string, ignoreFork bool) bool {
    if *repo.Fork && ignoreFork { return true }
    namespace := strings.Split(*repo.FullName, "/")[0]
    return len(namespaceWhitelist) > 0 && !contains(namespaceWhitelist, namespace)
}

func buildGithubRepository(repo *github.Repository) *Repository {
    // Single responsibility: convert GitHub API type to internal type
}

All existing tests pass without modification. No API changes.

- Extract helper functions from getGithubRepositories (complexity 21 -> ~7)
- Extract helper functions from getGitlabRepositories (complexity 17 -> ~5)
- Extract helper functions from getBitbucketRepositories (complexity 13 -> ~5)
- Extract helper functions from handleGithubCreateUserMigration (complexity 11 -> ~4)

Each service's repository fetching logic now uses focused helper functions that:
- Build repository options/filters
- Handle pagination
- Convert service-specific types to common Repository type

All existing tests pass with no behavior changes.
