github-repo-files-parser 1.0.1

Extract file paths from GitHub repositories categorized by extension

GitHub Repository Parser

Hosted on github.com/Blink29

Why parse a repository?

• To collect all files of a particular repository, flattened and grouped by extension, is too menial to be done manually.
• Grouped files can be used for further analysis / use / testing, based on requirements.

How does the parser work?

• The parser is developed using the GitHub API.
• Recursive level-wise file parsing is done to obtain absolute path of each file in the repository.
• Simultaneously, files of each type are grouped together and a dictionary of type { extension: array_of_files } is returned.

Installation

pip install github-repo-files-parser
