Simple terminal wrapper to retrieve small information subset using Github API and serialize it. This tool can be installed as .NET Core Global Tool, manual build is not required.
dotnet tool install --global GithubExplorer.CommandLine
You should have environment variable with GitHub access token with name GH_ACCESS_TOKEN.
github_explorer --target repositories --username %USER% --output repositories.json
info: GithubExplorer.Explorer[0]
Retrieving user information for '...'
info: GithubExplorer.Explorer[0]
Retrieving repositories for '...'
info: GithubExplorer.Explorer[0]
Found ... repositories for '...'
info: GithubExplorer.Writer[0]
Result saved into 'repositories.json'
=> repositories.json:
[
{
"Url": "https://api.github.com/repos/...",
"HtmlUrl": "https://github.com/...",
"CloneUrl": "https://github.com/...",
"GitUrl": "git://github.com/...",
"SshUrl": "[email protected]:...",
"SvnUrl": "https://github.com/...",
"MirrorUrl": null,
"Id": ...,
"NodeId": "MDEwOlJlcG9zaXRvcnkxNDI3NjY0NjY=",
"Owner": {

},
"Name": "...",

},
...
]
Attention! Filter here is required, serialization breaks without specifying safe properties (at least not selecting StringEnum based ones).
