github-helper v0.1.7

github-helper

npm-like package manager based on GitHub

Note: This version can just list repositories from a user or organization and clone a repository in local folder

Example: Initializing

var github = require('github-helper')(name, type);

The variable type specifies if you are looking for a orgzanization or user. The variable name specifies its name. For example: if you want to see my repositories, you should initialize this way

var github = require('github-helper')('ItsMeAlves', 'users');

Or if you want to get Twitter's repositories, just type:

var github = require('github-helper')('twitter','orgs');

#Example: listing and seaching repositories

//Initializing helper
var github = require('github-helper')('ItsMeAlves', 'users');
  
//First, i'll just list every repository I own
github.list('', function(error, result) {
    console.log(result);
});
  
//Or you could list without that empty string
github.list(function(error, result) {
    console.log(result);
});
  
//Now, i'll search for a repository. It uses String.prototype.match method
//It searches for a repository using a partial name or full name
github.list('data-render', function(error, result) {
    console.log(result);
});
  
//Now, trying with partial name
github.list('data', function(error, result) {
    console.log(result);
});

Example: Cloning a repository.

var github = require('github-helper')('ItsMeAlves', 'users');

//Cloning repositories just support full identical name
github.install('data-render');

//The following doesn't work to clone data-render repository, but you can combine list method for that
github.install('data');
