A shell client for communicating with the GitHub API.
I frequently want to query GitHub to see what I've been doing lately on different repositories. The API is powerful, but using CURL to talk to it is a bit irritating. While it would be perfectly suitable to use node-github or gh3 for talking to GitHub, I felt like using the raw Node.js http modules instead, to give me more to do.
The goal is simple: query data from the GitHub API, in order to keep track of work being done by individual users (myself) across a wide variety of repositories, and provide a nice, easy CLI client for performing these queries.
The client should work as both a library and a command line client, it should have as few dependencies as possible, and it should be simple.
The client doesn't do much yet, but there's no reason it can't do more in the future, if anyone thinks it ought to do more.
While it has currently just been quickly hacked together, tests and more functionality shall be added as needed, and it's open for anyone else to work on as they see fit.
