gistory

A Node.js tool that returns the history of a given GitHub user as a .json file.

Installation

Install with the Node.JS package manager npm:

$ npm install gistory

or

Install via git clone:

$ git clone git://github.com/wgpsutherland/gistory.git
$ cd gistory
$ npm install

Use

In your project or in the node command line you can do the following:

var gistory = require('gistory');
gistory.run('wgpsutherland'); // the string can be any valid GitHub username

This will create a file called history.json in the root directory which looks something like this:

[
    {
        "name": "wgpsutherland/github-user-history",
        "date": "2014-11-03T23:14:39.000Z",
        "type": "PushEvent"
    },
    {
        "name": "wgpsutherland/github-user-history",
        "date": "2014-11-03T23:04:13.000Z",
        "type": "PushEvent"
    },
    {
        "name": "wgpsutherland/github-user-history",
        "date": "2014-11-03T19:43:21.000Z",
        "type": "PushEvent"
    }...
]
