GitHub Repository and Gist Filter Script

This Python script filters and lists public GitHub repositories that:

• Were created in a specified year.
• Have been updated only once (i.e., the created_at and updated_at timestamps are the same).

The script uses the GitHub API to fetch and display repository details, such as:

• Repository name
• Description
• URL
• Creation date

Features

• Filters repositories by:
  • Creation year.
  • Update count (only shows repos with no updates after creation).
  • Visibility (only public repositories).
• Displays repository details in a user-friendly format.
• Utilizes environment variables for secure configuration.

Prerequisites

1. Python Installation

Make sure you have Python 3.7+ installed. You can download it from the official Python website.

2. Required Python Packages

Install the required Python modules using the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. GitHub Personal Access Token

Generate a personal access token from your GitHub account with the following scopes:

• public_repo (to access public repositories).

Setup

1. Clone the Repository

Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Create a .env File

Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following:

GITHUB_USERNAME=your_github_username
GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_personal_access_token
FILTER_YEAR=2024

Replace your_github_username and your_github_personal_access_token with your actual GitHub username and token.

3. Exclude Sensitive Files

Ensure your .env file is excluded from version control by adding it to .gitignore:

.env

Usage

Run the script using Python:

python github_summary.py

Running Tests

Run the tests using pytest:

pytest

The script will output a list of repositories matching the criteria, including their name, description, URL, and creation date.

Example Output

Repositories created in 2024 with no updates:
- Name: example-repo
  Description: An example repository
  URL: https://github.com/your_username/example-repo
  Created At: 2024-01-15 10:23:45

Notes

• The script supports pagination for users with many repositories.
• If no repositories match the criteria, it will display a relevant message.
