Layouts

Switch layouts using --layout {list|table|grid}, or use the short option -L

list

table

grid

Filtering by language

For example, you only want to find popular Python repos, you can use --lang or -l:

starcli --lang python

Here, we used starcli -l python -L grid, which is python with grid layout:

Specify the number (or range) of stars

(Recommended to be used with --date)

The default range is >=50, you can change that! Use --stars or -s to specify what you want, for example, if you want to find repos that has more than 100 stars, you can use:

starcli -s '>100'

Note that if you do something like >1000 not many repos can have more than 1000 and is created within 100 days, to specify date of creation, use --date, see below.

Specify the date of creation

Want to find newer, older, or just created repos? Just use --date or -d, and then provide a date in ISO8601 format: yyyy-mm-dd

For example, to 1st January 2014, use:

starcli --date 2014-01-01

Limit the number of results shown

Don't like the default 7? You can change it to something else, using --limit-results or -r followed by an integer:

starcli -r 2

The above will only give you two repos. This is useful if you want to put it in your .bashrc, .zshrc, or config.fish.

Just add starcli -r 3 -L grid to that file, and every time you open your terminal, you will find 3 trending repos printed neatly in a grid format, great way to start your day (bit like the Hacker Tab Extension 😆 ).
