Answer 1

Paging JSON

The JS code below is meant to be used in a console.

username = "mathieucaroff";

w = window;
Promise.all(Array.from(Array(Math.ceil(1+184/30)).keys()).map(p =>
    fetch(`//api.github.com/users/{username}/repos?page=${p}`).then(r => r.json())
)).then(all => {
    w.jo = [].concat(...all);
    // w.jo.sort();
    // w.jof = w.jo.map(x => x.forks);
    // w.jow = w.jo.map(x => x.watchers)
})

HTML

<div class="repositories"></div>

JavaScript

// Github repos

If you wanted to limit the repositories list, you can just add ?per_page=3 after username/repos.

e.g username/repos?per_page=3

Instead of /username/, you can put any person's username on Github.

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
        request.open('GET','https://api.github.com/users/username/repos' , 
        true)
        request.onload = function() {
            var data = JSON.parse(this.response);
            console.log(data);
            var statusHTML = '';
            $.each(data, function(i, status){
                statusHTML += '<div class="card"> \
                <a href=""> \
                    <h4>' + status.name +  '</h4> \
                    <div class="state"> \
                        <span class="mr-4"><i class="fa fa-star mr-2"></i>' + status.stargazers_count +  '</span> \
                        <span class="mr-4"><i class="fa fa-code-fork mr-2"></i>' + status.forks_count + '</span> \
                    </div> \
                </a> \
            </div>';
            });
            $('.repositories').html(statusHTML);
        }
        request.send();

Answer 3

To get the user's 100 public repositories's url:

$.getJSON("https://api.github.com/users/suhailvs/repos?per_page=100", function(json) {
  var resp = '';
  $.each(json, function(index, value) {
    resp=resp+index + ' ' + value['html_url']+ ' -';
    console.log(resp);
  });
});

Answer 4

If you have jq installed, you can use the following command to list all public repos of a user

curl -s https://api.github.com/users/<username>/repos | jq '.[]|.html_url'

Answer 5

Try the following curl command to list the repositories:

GHUSER=CHANGEME; curl "https://api.github.com/users/$GHUSER/repos?per_page=100" | grep -o 'git@[^"]*'

To list cloned URLs, run:

GHUSER=CHANGEME; curl -s "https://api.github.com/users/$GHUSER/repos?per_page=1000" | grep -w clone_url | grep -o '[^"]\+://.\+.git'

If it's private, you need to add your API key (access_token=GITHUB_API_TOKEN), for example:

curl "https://api.github.com/users/$GHUSER/repos?access_token=$GITHUB_API_TOKEN" | grep -w clone_url

If the user is organisation, use /orgs/:username/repos instead, to return all repositories.

Answer 6

Retrieve the list of all public repositories of a GitHub user using Python:

import requests
username = input("Enter the github username:")
request = requests.get('https://api.github.com/users/'+username+'/repos')
json = request.json()
for i in range(0,len(json)):
  print("Project Number:",i+1)
  print("Project Name:",json[i]['name'])
  print("Project URL:",json[i]['svn_url'],"\n")
