GitHub Code Search CLI with file downloading capability.

GitHub Code Search CLI (ghcs)

ghcs is a command-line interface (CLI) tool for searching code on GitHub and downloading matched files. It allows you to search for code snippets, filter by language, user, repository, and path, and optionally download the matched files. This is effective utility specially when developers are on CLI non ui environment (i.e. on remote desktop).

Features

• Search GitHub code with various filters (query, user, repository, language, path).
• Download matched files directly from GitHub.
• Easy to use CLI interface.

Installation

To install ghcs, simply use direct pip:

pip install ghcs

or for most updated, directly from Github, using

pip install git+https://github.com/hissain/ghcs.git

Usage

To use the ghcs CLI, you need a GitHub Personal Access Token. You can set it via the --token argument or the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.

Basic Search

ghcs --query 'search_term' --token YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN

Search with Filters

ghcs --query 'search_term' --user 'username' --repo 'username/repo' --language 'python' --path '*.py' --token YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN --max-results MAX_RESULT_COUNT

Download Matched Files

ghcs --query 'search_term' --download --token YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN

Arguments

• --query: Search term (required).
• --language: Programming language filter.
• --user: Search in all repositories of a specific user.
• --repo: Search in a specific repository (e.g., username/repo).
• --path: Specify path specifier for filtering.
• --token: GitHub Personal Access Token (or set GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable).
• --max-result: Limit the search results to show or download.
• --download: Download matched files.
• --download-dir: Download directory for downloading the matched files.

GITHUB_TOKEN can be generated from https://github.com/settings/tokens

Example

ghcs --query 'def main' --language 'python' --user 'hissain' --path '*.py' --download --token YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN --max-results 5

ghcs --query "def main()" --user hissain --max-results 3 --download
