thank-you-stars

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

Setup

The project is managed by Stack, so you can install it simply:

$ git clone https://github.com/y-taka-23/thank-you-stars.git
$ cd thank-you-stars
$ stack install

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 thank-you-stars in the root directory of your project. Then it scans the package.cabal and the local Hackage DB, stars your dependent libraries if they are hosted on GitHub.
