The Github web ui search tool, along with its paging, is not ideal for getting a list of repositories containing a given string. The following techniques can help.
The following examples show how to get a list of edx repositories containing the string "edx-drf-extensions".
Using the Github API from the browser searches public repos only. To search private repos you have access to, use one of the other techniques below. |
Enter the following filter in jq-play:
.items[].repository.full_name |
From the command-line, use the following and you'll be prompted for your password:
curl --user "REPLACE_WITH_GITHUB_USERNAME" https://api.github.com/search/code?q=edx-drf-extensions+org:edx curl --user "REPLACE_WITH_GITHUB_USERNAME" https://api.github.com/search/code?q=REPLACE_WITH_SEARCH_TERM+org:edx |
Enter the following filter in jq-play:
.items[].repository.full_name |
This script has the advantage of sorting and filtering results to the unique set of repositories. |
In a virtualenv, pip install PyGithub:
# Also see https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html pip install PyGithub |
Use a simple script like the following:
#!/usr/bin/python
from github import Github
# Set this to a personal access token.
# - Select "repo" for the oauth scopes.
# See https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/
g = Github('REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN')
repositories = set()
# Note: Gets rate limited and fails if too many hits
content_files = g.search_code(query='org:edx edx-drf-extensions')
for content in content_files:
repositories.add(content.repository.full_name)
rate_limit = g.get_rate_limit()
if rate_limit.search.remaining == 0:
print('Rate limit on searching was reached.')
break
for repo in sorted(repositories):
print(repo)
rate_limit = g.get_rate_limit()
print('Search rate limit:')
print(rate_limit.search)
