ἀρχή: how everything started
the initial (starting) point
About
Often I found myself looking at a project that I like and thinking: "How does this thing start in the very beginning?", but then, finding the first commit it's not so straightforward; so...this how I met the idea of arke.
What is Arke
Arke is a cli utility, written in JavaScript, that given an owner and a repository will give you the url where you can find the first commit of the repository you are looking for.
Installation
$ npm install -g arke
or you can immediately using it without the need of installation with:
$ npx arke
Usage
You can use arke in two ways:
- passing to the -f flag the repositoryOwner followed by a */ and the repository, for example:
$ npx arke -fglippi/arke
- answering the questions that cli will prompt to you, in this case you just have to write arke and hit enter:
$ npx arke
then the cli will ask you for owner and repository name like below:
$ Enter repository name
$ Enter repository author
About the name
