Import starred repos from a another user's account

🔮🌋GitHub Star Import💫🚀

"Truly the best repo ever made" - BrycensRanch

Switched your GitHub account? Well, this CLI powered by Node.js has got you covered. Import starred repos from a another user's account using GitHub's extensive API and a PAT (Personal Access Token) (Classic, needs repo and user scopes)

Usage

# Root command
Usage: import-stars [options] [command]

Import another GitHub user's stars

Options:
  -V, --version   output the version number
  -h, --help      display help for command

Commands:
  star [options]  Import or rather merge a GitHub user's stars to your own account
  help [command]  display help for command

# Star a user's repos
Usage: import-stars star [options]

Import or rather merge a GitHub user's stars to your own account

Options:
  -c, --computer            Computer friendly output
  -b, --bypass              Bypass Validation
  -d, --dryrun              Dry run, doesn't actually star repos, just fetches them and outputs it
  -t, --target <user>       Target GitHub user that be the 'source' of list of projects to star
  -g, --ghToken <token>     GITHUB_TOKEN (PAT) Passing this option is insecure because it can be seen on your shell history. Use with caution.
  -w, --wait-time <number>  How long in milliseconds to wait between requests to GitHub. Added to prevent API Abuse (default: 1 second)
  -h, --help                display help for command

🏗️ Coming Soon? 🚧

• Import lists as well by default
• Filtering GitHub repos that you want to star by date.
• Manual starring? (You manually select which repos you want to star)
• Unit Tests / E2E testing maybe? Idk.
• Unstarring in general
• Unstar repos another user has starred

Versioning

We use SemVer along with Semantic Release

Types

The types on this project are horrid. But hey, it works. Definitely a mistake to try and use TypeScript for this project. If you have any better TypeScript projects I could use to create a CLI, please leave an issue.

Alternatives

There are some other alternatives now when I look up GitHub star transfer, but they don't run as fast as us with minimum code! Such as:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/github-star-transfer

Building this project

pnpm install
pnpm build
node dist/bin/index.js --help

Contributing

Although this is a small project, I wanted to make sure the project still follows standards set by other developers, hence I am not trying to reinvent the wheel with this project. Hence why Husky and ESLint and Prettier is included in this repo.

Tools such as Commitizen or Commitlint are used to help contributors and enforce valid commits/ messages.
