🚀 Usage

Configuration

octohub.nvim can be configured using the following options:

local octohub = require('octohub')

octohub.setup({
    contribution_icons = { '', '', '', '', '', '', '' }, -- Icons for different contribution levels
    projects_dir = '~/Projects/',     -- Directory where repositories are cloned
    per_user_dir = true,              -- Create a directory for each user
    sort_repos_by = '',               -- Sort repositories by various parameters
    repo_type = '',                   -- Type of repositories to display
    max_contributions = 50,           -- Max number of contributions per day to use for icon selection
    top_lang_count = 5,               -- Number of top languages to display in stats
    event_count = 5,                  -- Number of activity events to show
    window_width = 90,                -- Width in percentage of the window to display stats
    window_height = 60,               -- Height in percentage of the window to display stats
    show_recent_activity = true,      -- Show recent activity in the stats window
    show_contributions = true,        -- Show contributions in the stats window
    show_repo_stats = true,           -- Show repository stats in the stats window
    events_cache_timeout = 3600 * 6,        -- Time in seconds to cache activity events
    contributions_cache_timeout = 3600 * 6, -- Time in seconds to cache contributions data
    repo_cache_timeout = 3600 * 24 * 7,     -- Time in seconds to cache repositories
    username_cache_timeout = 3600 * 24 * 7, -- Time in seconds to cache username
    user_cache_timeout = 3600 * 24 * 7,     -- Time in seconds to cache user data
    add_default_keybindings = true,         -- Add default keybindings for the plugin
})

Available sort_repos_by options:

create - Sort by creation date, OctoReposByCreated
fork - Sort by forks, OctoReposByForks
issue - Sort by open issues, OctoReposByIssues

Note: The sort_repos_by and repo_type options match the start of keywords, you can expand them for readability, sort:updated is same as sort:update.

You can also add the following to your which-key configuration: { '<leader>go', group = 'Octohub' },

Telescope Integration

octohub.nvim adds a Telescope extension for easy searching and browsing of repositories.

To use this extension, add the following code to your configuration:

local telescope = require('telescope')

telescope.load_extension('repos')

You can now use the following command to show repositories in Telescope: :Telescope repos

⛅ Behind The Code

🌈 Inspiration

I use GitHub quite a bit and wanted to get all of my most used activities done from Neovim.

💡 Challenges/Learnings

The main challenges were figuring out how to interact with the GitHub API and how to display the data in a user-friendly way.
I learned about Lua's powerful features for handling data structures and Neovim's extensibility.
