a better git(hub) forks visualizer

No Plan.

branchesapp's Issues

Doesn’t work with latest grit version

Maybe this could be ported to rugged?

Wish g2h.rb would not fetch from network when local clone exists.

This helps me find forks that has the changes I want (usually because the original repository went dormant or something)

This is very good and what I was looking for.

forks of the project will be fetched (and cached locally in a .json file).

(1) In many case, the user will actually have a local clone. There is no need to refetch a complete git clone of the forks from a github URL.
Some repositories are quite big, so the cost of fetching all might be high and should be avoided.

(2) Also, the local clone has a number of remotes already known (git remote -v show). Perhaps only one "origin" to their github fork, possible a selection of other github forks. The user may just want a view restricted to the forks listed by git remote -v show, not all the remotes known to github.

Technically, this would mean:

• (1) using the local directory as cache (instead of public/username/reponame)
• (2) an option to do git remote -v show and use only remote with URLs that look like github there, instead of fetching all remote names from github API.

There were several ideas here, I hope these writings are clear enough.

API rate limit exceeded

Is it possible to add authentication to raise the request limit?
