GitHub Code Search Hack Scripts

A collection of scripts to make working with GitHub Code Search (cs.github.com) easier.

How

Unfortunately, because this solution isn't officially supported, there are a few pieces of API information you'll need to extract manually while interacting with the cs.github.com site.

Using this Project

In order to extract these 'keys' for uses by these scripts, we recommend that your browser's develper tools and inspect the various requests normally made under the 'Network' tab. This information should be put inside of a file named config.yml inside the repositories root directory. This config.yml file is already part of the .gitignore so adding it to this repository will not risk you accidentally committing it.

The format of this config.yml is the following:

github_cs:
    host_blackbird: # From the request cookie `__Host-blackbird`
    login_state:    # From the request cookie `login_state`

Usage Example

Search for Gradle Build Files that are using http:// (instead of https://) for their url in the repositories block:

python code_search.py --all-pages '(" url \"http://" OR "uri(\"http://" OR " url = uri(\"http://") AND ("maven {" OR "maven()" OR "ivy {" OR "ivy()") AND (path:*.gradle OR path:*.gradle.kts)' | jq '.results[] | { repo: .repo_name, path: .path }'
