Discover new GitHub repositories.

Enter a repository and aggregate a list of similar repositories.

• Python 3+
• Redis
• Node.js (for development)

• Clone project.

  git clone https://git@github.com/kshvmdn/explore-github.git
  cd explore-github

• Install dependencies.

  pip install -r ./server/requirements.txt
  cd app && npm install && cd ..

• You'll need to be running the server, front-end application, and Redis separately. I recommend tmux / iTerm 2, but multiple terminal windows will work just as well.

• Generate a new access token here, you'll require this to run the server.

• Start Redis.

  $ redis-server # add --daemonize yes to run Redis in the background

• Start the Flask server. It'll be running on port 3001. See this for the API reference.

  $ ACCESS_TOKEN=<access_token> DEBUG=<True|False> ./server/app.py

• Start the React application. It'll be running on port 3000.

  $ cd app && npm start

• /api/1.0/{owner}/{repo}
  • Return a list of repositories starred by stargazers of the repository provided. Will return a maximum of 200 stargazers by 100 repositories (i.e. 20k repos).

This project is completely open source. Feel free to open an issue for bugs/requests or submit a pull request for code contributions.
