🌟 Github Starred List

A low-effort attempt to automate categorizing starred repositories on GitHub because the REST API isn't going to do that anytime soon.

🚀 Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/haile01/github-starred-list/

📖 Usage

Initialize with your GitHub username and the cookie header grabbed from https://github.com/<username>?tab=stars.

Note: The cookie will only last for 2 weeks.

gh-list create --user "gh_username" --cookie "cookie_str" --list "listname" --desc "sample"

gh-list add --user "gh_username" --cookie "cookie_str" --list "listname" --repo "repo_url" 

gh-list remove --user "gh_username" --cookie "cookie_str --list "listname" --repo "repo_url"

gh-list delete --user "gh_username" --cookie "cookie_str" --list "listname"

For more information, run gh-list --help.
