Steampipe Table: github_search_topic - Query GitHub Topics using SQL |
Allows users to query Topics on GitHub, specifically to find repositories associated with a specific topic, providing insights into the popularity and usage of certain topics across repositories. |
GitHub Topics is a feature that allows users to explore repositories by technology, industry, and more. It helps developers to discover projects, learn from their peers, and better understand the landscape of possibilities within the platform. Topics are labels that repository owners can use to categorize their projects, so they're more discoverable.
The github_search_topic
table provides insights into topics within GitHub. As a developer or project manager, explore topic-specific details through this table, including associated repositories, the number of stars, and the language used. Utilize it to uncover information about popular topics, the repositories that use them, and the overall popularity of different technologies and industries.
Important Notes
- You must always include at least one search term when searching topics in the where or join clause using the
query
column. See Searching topics for details on the GitHub query syntax.
Identify topics that lack curation within a specific GitHub repository. This is useful for maintaining content quality and relevance by pinpointing areas needing further attention.
