Advanced tools
Scan your github for packages that are still marked as alpha or beta releases
Scans your github organization or personal account for projects whose current package.json file declares them to be of alpha or beta quality. Version numbers starting with 0. are also reported.
We ship lots of open source packages at ApostropheCMS. Sometimes changes are needed before we declare it to be stable. Other times, a year will pass and nobody notices it's still considered "beta." This tool to the rescue.
npm install -g alpha-beta-scanner
alpha-beta-scanner --user=myusername
alpha-beta-scanner --org=myorgname
# If you run out of API requests, or want to scan private repos,
# use a github personal access token
alpha-beta-scanner --org=myorgname --token=go-get-your-own
You can also use the TOKEN environment variable.
Note: this tool wants your github.com username or organization name. It doesn't scan npm directly.
