Starred_ml - Github Awesome list based on starred proejct

Are you a compulsive Github stargazer? Starred_ml is here for you! It will access Github https://api.github.com/user/starred API and fetch all starred repositories and dump a mardown that you can use as README.md in a repository.

Running

opam update
opam install starred_ml


TOKEN={{your github personal token}} starred_ml > README.md 

For full option list, run starred_ml --help.

See Templating section for details on the output markdown.

Will output something liket this:

Generating your awesome README.md

You can run starred_ml locally, but it makes more sense that you atomatically generate a README.md in dedicated github repository. For that you can use my Awesome as a template https://github.com/paulosuzart/awesome.

You need two things:

1. Select Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests under (YOUR REPO)/Settings/Actions/General.
2. A PAT Personal Access Token with starred read-only access that you must set to your awesome repository under (YOUR REPO)/Settings/Secrets and variables/Actions, then in the Repository Secrets you can add your generated token with the name TOKEN.

Templating

Starred_ml uses jingoo as a template engine. Create a template file (default is default.jingoo) if you want to customize. You can reuse the provided template here and customize as you see fit. You can save the template with a different name. Use --template the specify a different template file.

The availabe variables are:

• lang_count - The total count of languages found (Including Not set)
• languages - a list of languages detected across all starred repos. The slug of the language is provided.
• by_language - a list of objects representing starred repositories with the following keys:
  • language - the slug language of in question
  • starred - a list of objects with the following keys:
    • name - name of the repository
    • language_slug - slug version of the language
    • html_url - Github url
    • description - repository description
    • owner_login - the repository owner login
