GitHub User Lookup

By Alex Kinuthia

Description

This program is a web app that will allow a user to look up public accounts in GitHub, and view that account's public repositories & corresponding descriptions. The program utilizes the GitHub API to access this information.

Setup/Installation Requirements

This program can only be accessed on a computer with Git and Atom software, and npm, bower, and gulp globally installed.

  • Clone this repository
  • To set up package managers, type the following into the command line:
    • $ npm install
    • $ bower install

GitHub can only run 60 requests/hour to its API without a key, so a key is necessary for testing. Get a key through the Personal Access Tokens option in the settings for a GitHub account.

  • Create a .env file in the main directory. Use the following format to hold the API key: exports.apiKey = "[Key Value Here]";
  • To view the webpage, type the following:
    • $ gulp build
    • $ gulp server
