This is not a call to action, unless you are called to action ;)

This is from a fish function that wraps a gh call

function __exercism__tracks__get_slugs -a is_active with_date
    test -z $is_active; and set is_active true
    test -z $with_date; and set with_date false
    for var in is_active with_date
        if not contains $$var true false
            echo "$var parameter must be a JSON boolean" >&2
            return 1
        end
    end

    gh api graphql --paginate -f query='
        query($endCursor: String) {
        organization(login: "exercism") {
          repositories(first: 100, after: $endCursor) {
            pageInfo {
              hasNextPage
              endCursor
            }
            nodes {
              name
              object(expression: "HEAD:config.json") {
                ... on Blob {
                  text
                }
              }
              defaultBranchRef {
                target {
                  ... on Commit {
                    history(first: 1, path: "config.json") {
                      nodes {
                        committedDate
                      }
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
    }' --jq "
        .data.organization.repositories.nodes[] 
        | select(.object.text != null) 
        | select((.object.text | try fromjson catch {}) | .active == $is_active) 
        | if $with_date
          then ([.name, ((.defaultBranchRef.target?.history?.nodes // [{}]) | .[0].committedDate)] | @tsv)
          else .name
          end
    "
end

invoked and passed to miller

I believe this track is both inactive and active at the same time. :nerd_face:

Except you observed it so I guess it actually is inactive then.
