github-getter

What?

A quick and easy way to get files from github

github-getter is a small module to take the hassle out of downloading files from github. Download specific files, or specify repositories/users and recieve lists of files/repositories available.

Why?

Save time digging around docs / fiddling with with headers.

How?

get a github api token. Create a personal one here or use oauth.

node 6

const { user, repo, file } = require('./src/')(process.env.ghtoken)

const logContent = (err, res) => {
  if (err) throw err
  console.log(res.content)
}

file({ repoName: 'des-des/github-getter', filePath: 'README.md' }, logContent)

repo({ repoName: 'des-des/github-getter' }, (err, githubGetter) => {
  if (err) throw err
  githubGetter['README.md'](logContent)
})

user({ name: 'des-des' }, (err, desdes) => {
  if (err) throw err
  desdes['github-getter']((err, githubGetter) => {
    if (err) throw err
    githubGetter['README.md'](logContent)
  })
})
