GitHub API LICENSE

Get the github repos of a user, with more options. It doesn’t want to show all the repos if they are more than 30. If I fixed it it wouldn’t work without an API key. I know the appendRepos() works but I don’t know if the API ones completely work.

How to use it

Just load the script and do appendRepos(a, b); (or use the simplified edition).

[!IMPORTANT] Each IP has a GitHub API rate limit of 60 requests per hour.

Example

 <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jgc777/GitHubRepoAPI@main/api.js"></script> <!-- Load the API -->
 <ul id="repo-list"></ul> <!-- Here will appear the repo list -->
 <script>
    const token = 'YOUR_API_KEY'; // Your API key with public repos read access
    appendRepos("YOUR_GH_USERNAME", repo-list); // Call appendRepos
</script> <!-- Use the API to get the list -->

Simplified edition

simplified.js

 <meta name="github-username" content="YOUR_GH_USERNAME"> <!-- Define the user whose repos must be shown -->
 <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jgc777/GitHubRepoAPI@main/simplified.js"></script> <!-- Load the Simplified API -->
 <ul id="repo-list"></ul> <!-- Here will appear the repo list -->

It’s a simplified version of the code with no sorting and which automatically appends the repos to the repo-list list element (<ul id="repo-list"></ul> or similar). Works without an API key but you have to specify the username in the html with <meta name="github-username" content="your-github-username">.

Functions

Here are the functions that this program includes.
