ghstar

Star GitHub repos from the command line.

# set the environment variables GH_UNAME and GH_TOKEN
# to your GitHub username and token/password

$ ghstar gokulsoumya/ghstar
Starred gokulsoumya/ghstar

(Because the command line is awesome, browsers are a hassle, and I'm lazy.)

Installation

ghstar is written in Python3, available on PyPI and installable via pip:

pip install ghstar

Usage

You must first set the environment variables GH_UNAME and GH_TOKEN to your GitHub username and token/password. It is recommended to use a token with public_repo scope instead of your password though either one works.
