Purpose
Getting total number of downloads for all releases of all repositories of a GitHub user by username
Limitations
This is for testing and personal purposes only (for now)
I'm planning to build sort of an ecosystem around it later
Preparation
Assuming you have Node.JS installed
- Create a Personal Access Token (Following GitHub Docs)
No scopes (permissions) needed — just the token
Testing
- Clone the repo
- Install dependencies (
npm i
) - Set
PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
andUSER
environmental variables (use.env
file if you want) - Run
npm start
