Search repositories on GitHub
Project description
The package searches repositories on GitHub using GraphQL API. One may specify parameters such as programming language, start date, and number of stars to get a list of GitHub repositories modified on or after the specified start date and satisfying other filters.
The package takes care of constraints such as API limit and the size of responses by reducing the search scope (in terms of time) by following a mechanism similar to binary search. The search results are stored in a file separated in the following format per line.
<repo_owner>/<project name><space><programming language><space><modification date and time>
Ex: apache/tomcat Java 2022-08-06T13:31:25Z
Parameters
--api-token
: GitHub API token or Personal Access Token--out-file
: Output file path--start-date
: Start date for search in dd-mm-yyyy--lang
: Primary programming language of the repositories--min-stars
: Minimum star count--verbose
: Verbose mode
