Fuzzy search your GitHub starred repositories from your terminal

starred_search

Search your starred repositories on GitHub for a keyword.

You know those repositories you like and star into the abyss? Yes those, this cli tool will help you do a fuzzy search on them. You can search any GitHub user's starred repositories by providing their handle only.

This tool will cache the results locally so that you don't risk abusing the API requests limit.

Installation

Minimum Requirements

• Node v12.x.x+

Setup

OS X & Linux:

# Install
npm install starred_search -g

# Usage
starred_search --user 'link-' --cache-dir '/tmp/.cache' --find 'es6'

I recommend that you create an alias in your shell to avoid repeating the required parameters.

Example alias in fish and bash:

# Create an alias (this is temporary, you might want to make it permanent)
alias stars="starred_search --user 'link-' --cache-dir '/tmp/.cache'"

# Then you can use it as:
stars -f 'es6'

Usage

starred_search
    --user <handle>
        Any GitHub handle. Example: link-

    --cache-dir <directory>
        Directory you want to store the cache file in. Example: /tmp/.cache

    --find <keyword>
        The keyword you want to search for. Example: es6

Example output

starred_search --user 'link-' --cache-dir '/tmp/.cache' --find 'es6'
