Github Repo Widgets is a MooTools plugin that allows you to fetch information regarding a Github repository using a JSONP request, and builds an HTML widget for you.
You can use GithubRepoWidget to create a widget by doing the following:
var myRepoWidget = new GithubRepoWidget('mootools', 'mootools-more');
myRepoWidget.addEvent('complete', function(response, widget){
$('myElement').grab(widget);
});
or you can supply an element to inject into and have the complete event handled for you:
var myRepoWidget = new GithubRepoWidget('re5et', '.dotfiles', {
'injectInto': $('myElement')
});
You can also use hoverCards, which will automatically find github repo links and attach hovercards to them, by running:
GithubRepoWidget.hovercards()
