Introducing gitsearch-cli
Description of a tool I've written that can be used to find github projects from the command line
The first version of gitsearch-cli is now available. This command line interface allows you to search github repositories and users using keywords and (currently) a handful of additional criteria.
Installation
To install git search you can use pip3 with the following command;
1
pip3 install gitsearch-cli
Usage
By default the search will be scoped to look in repositories, however you can change the scope to look specifically for users.
For additional help, just use;
1
git-search --help
Searching for Users

git-search --scope=users owen rumney
or
git-search --scope=users owenrumney
This will yield the following results;
| username | url |
|---|---|
| owenrumney | https://github.com/owenrumney |
Searching for repositories
When searching for repositories you can create a general search by keyword or focus the search by including the language and/or user.
1
git-search -l=scala -u=apache spark
This will give the following result;
| name | owner | url |
|---|---|---|
| fluo-muchos | apache | https://github.com/apache/fluo-muchos |
| predictionio | apache | https://github.com/apache/predictionio |
| spark | apache | https://github.com/apache/spark |
| spark-website | apache | https://github.com/apache/spark-website |
If you want to only return results where the keyword is in the name, you can use the --nameonly flag
1
git-search -l=scala -u=apache spark --nameonly
This will give the following result;
| name | owner | url |
|---|---|---|
| spark | apache | https://github.com/apache/spark |
| spark-website | apache | https://github.com/apache/spark-website |
TODO
- Add date based options for search criteria
- Refactor the code to be more pythonic
