Search Repository

This repository contains glue code for finding repositories on GitHub that you or your organisation owns. In short, it does the following:

1. Downloads metadata of all the repositories on GitHub associated with your account and saves a subset of the properties into ~/repos.json
2. Provides a way of searching that local file to quickly find a repo for cloning or opening the associated web page.

Dependencies

• BASH
• GitHub CLI
• fzf
• jq
• bat

Even though this is written using 🐚 zx, that's not a direct dependency. It can be installed either globally or as a part of npm install in this repo.

Installation

1. npm install
2. Add alias/function for invoking the npm scripts in this repo. I have the following in my ~/.zshrc:

repo () {
  npm run search --prefix ~/kod/personligt/search-repo "$(pwd)"
}
o () {
  npm run open --prefix ~/kod/personligt/search-repo "${PWD##*/}" 1> /dev/null
}
alias refresh-repo="npm run refresh --prefix ~/kod/personligt/search-repo"

Usage

There are two commands to run, one that fetches the repos' metadata and one that does the search. Having the aliases above loaded:

Refreshing the local index

$ refresh-repo

Searching

$ repo

Open web for current repo/folder

$ o
