gh-trend.py uses GitHub Trend RSS as the data source and lists new trending repos. Each repo will only be listed once in output.
gh-trend.py [-h] [-j JSON] [-p {today,this-week,this-month} language [language ...]
-jis the saved JSON file, which is used to check if a repo has been listed before.-pthe trending period, one oftoday,this-week, orthis-month.- language, the names of interested languages.
Examples:
$ gh-trend.py -p this-week all python bash
$ gh-trend.py -j $HOME/.gh-trend.json objective-c common-lisp csharp cppYou may want to check the RSS URLs for correct language names.
Output looks like:
https://github.com/user/repo
Description
(language)
It could be a nice idea to use with cron, e.g.
@daily /path/to/gh-trend.py -j /path/to/saved.json all python bash >> /path/to/output.txt
@weekly /path/to/gh-trend.py -j /path/to/saved.json -p this-week all python bash >> /path/to/output.txt
@monthly /path/to/gh-trend.py -j /path/to/saved.json -p this-month all python bash >> /path/to/output.txt
Your cron's syntax may differ, check with its manual pages.
The following AWK code converts the output into simple HTML code:
gh-trend.py [options] | awk "
/^https/ {
print(\"<a href='\" \$0 \"'>\"\
gensub(\"https://github.com/\", \"@\", \"\", \$0)\
\"</a><br/>\");
next;
}
/^.+$/ {
print(\"<span>\" \$0 \"</span><br/>\");
next;
}
/^$/ {
print(\"<br/>\");
}
" > output.htmlOutput looks like:
@user/repo
Description
(language)
Where @user/repo is a hyperlink. Note that there is no specification of encoding since it's only a partial HTML, therefore some Unicode characters may not be displayed correct until manually setting the encoding to UTF-8 in web browser.
Or a more complete HTML output:
echo "<html><head><title>gh-trend.py" > output.html
echo -e '</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="background-color:#000;color:#aaa;font-family:Inconsolata;font-weight:bold">\n' >> output.html
gh-trend.py [options] | awk "
/^https/ {
print(\"<a href='\" \$0 \"' style='color:lawngreen;text-decoration:none'>\"\
gensub(\"https://github.com/\", \"@\", \"\", \$0)\
\"</a><br/>\");
next;
}
/^\(.*\)$/ {
print(\"<span style='color:lightblue'>\" \$0 \"</span><br/>\");
next;
}
/^.+$/ {
print(\"<span style='color:lightgrey'>\" \$0 \"</span> \");
next;
}
/^$/ {
print(\"<br/>\");
}
" >> output.html
echo '</body></html>' >> output.htmlThe output will look like:
The script is very basic, not even any error checking or messages, like for bozo feeds or incorrect language names.
