πŸ”­ Git Stalker: Stalk GitHub users without leaving your terminal!

Github is the platform for code and for developers. I'd spend tons of time stalking friends, colleagues and pros like Sindre Sorhus, Ryan Dahl, starring and forking repos and just slacking off Github. I'm sure you do too. Stalking code and devs on Github is fun. Can we make it efficient? Can we make it mouse-less? Can we do it from the terminal itself?

Well, now you can with Git Stalker.

I made git-stalker, which is a CLI that allows you to stalk people on GitHub from your terminal. It shows you the profile of the dev, what (programming) languages do they speak and what have they been up to lately. Here's the demo:

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What's Next?

So the current release allows stalking people. Why not hunt repos? I'll probably work on that. If you have any ideas, please open up an issue.

Here's the repo for Git Stalker.

I like the idea of stalking without ever needing to use the mouse πŸ˜‚
