This is a simple node.js module that scans email addresses in commits and takes a guess as to what might be the user's main email.
It's based on FindGitHubEmail by @alpacaaa. As noted there, it makes it easy to get in contact with open source developers. Please use it for good, not evil.
npm install gethubemail
var gethubemail = require("gethubemail");
// optional, set auth info to promote Request Rate Limit
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13394077/is-there-a-way-to-increase-the-api-rate-limit-or-to-bypass-it-altogether-for-git
gethubemail.auth = {
username: YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME,
password: YOUR_GITHUB_PERSONAL_TOKEN,
};
var username = "alpacaaa";
gethubemail.find(username).then(function (result) {
console.log(result);
});
// {
// best_guess: 'babbonatale@alpacaaa.net',
// gravatar_match: true,
// alternatives: []
// }You can install this module globally with the -g flag and use it from the command line.
