This script adds starred GitHub repositories as bookmarks in Pinboard. All such bookmarks will be tagged with github-star and the project's language (if applicable). In addition, you may set a prefix for the language tag with the --lang-tag-prefix option. The script will attempt to avoid overwriting bookmarks in Pinboard by checking starred repos against the most recent bookmark with the github-star tag.
The script requires a GitHub personal API token (see note below) and a Pinboard API token, both of which may be stored in files named ~/.github_api_token and ~/.pinboard_api_token respectively instead of passing them as command-line options. Dependencies are best installed with pip and virtualenv, though you're free to live on the edge and do things like sudo easy_install requests if you wish. Just don't say you weren't warned... 😏
Run python pin-github-stars.py -h for command-line help, which is an essentially abbreviated version of this README.
Note: Since your stars list is public information, a token for GitHub's API is not strictly necessary; however, it avoids issues with rate-limiting and unauthenticated API use. If you'd prefer not to create a token specifically for the script, feel free to fork it and remove the offending bits.
Passing everything on the command line would look like this:
$ python pin-github-stars.py -g 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef123456 -p pbuser:1234567890abcdef1234 -u github_user --lang-tag-prefix lang:
