github-query-script

The github-query-script consists of two independent scripts. The first script, get_matching_repositories.py, collects all repositories which matches to the filter criteria. Based upon these results, the second script, get_matching_code_files.py, generates a CSV-file with all of the in step one collected projects which use the library javax.crypto.

Executing

Prerequirements:

• Python needs to be installed.
• Install the github4 API for Python pip install --pre github3.py https://github.com/sigmavirus24/github3.py.
• Ensure that you don't have repositories.txt or code.csv files in the directory where you want to execute the script from a previous run.

Following are the steps to execute both scripts:

1. Open a shell to execute the Python scripts, e.g. the power shell on Windows or bash on Linux.
2. Update get_matching_repositories.py and get_matching_code_files.py scripts with valid GitHub username and password. Be aware that you added your credentials to these files before you commit them!
3. $ cd DIR\With\Scripts where DIR\With\Scripts is the directory which contains the both Python scripts.
4. To execute the first python script, run the following command: python get_matching_repositories.py This will extract Java repositories and export their information into repositories.txt file.
5. To execute the second python, run the following command: python get_matching_code_files.py --username <githubusername> --repoFile repositories.txt --outputFile code.csv This will generate the final results in a code.csv file which would have the list of repositories along with the file names which are using the javax.crypto library.
