stareact

A simple app for helping people star a set of GitHub projects

We wanted an easy way to help our members star/bookmark our GitHub projects. We also wanted to avoid having to host this project somewhere. The result is a React app that runs entirely on the client and can be served up via GitHub pages.

Repos are specified either in repos.json or in the URL like so: [example link] (the latter taking precedence if present)

Then, send out a link to the site (either bare or with the repo strings in the URL). Users can go to the app, login to their GitHub account, and click a button to star a set of GitHub repos all at once.

A running demo with Hack4Impact repos specified can be found here: [github-pages url]

To build:

1. Install project dependencies: npm install and bower install

2. Install the Gulp CLI: npm install --global gulp

3. For a one-off build, gulp build or to watch the directory and rebuild on changes: gulp watch

4. Open index.html to see the running app
