thank-you-stars

A tool for starring GitHub repositories. It detects dependent libraries which are hosted on GitHub via mix.deps file, and stars the repositories all at once.

Setup

Add thank_you_stars to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:thank_you_stars, "~> 0.1.0", only: :dev}
  ]
end

To star GitHub repositories, you have to get your personal access token.

1. Open https://github.com/settings/tokens and press "Generate new token."
2. Input the description and check only "public_repo" as a scope.
3. Save the token as $HOME/.thank-you-stars.json:

{
    "token": "SET_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
}

Usage

Run mix thank_you_stars in the root directory of your project. Then it scans the mix.deps and scrape the Hex.pm, stars your dependent libraries if they are hosted on GitHub.
