  Usage
    $ github-diary <args>

  Options
    --login, -l GitHub login user
    --token, -t GitHub token. If none provided, one will be generated for you
                on _each run_. It is strongly recommended to generate and use
                your own token in advance.  https://github.com/settings/tokens
    --endpoint, -e GitHub endpoint. Defaults to GitHub.com

github-diary can be used in a few different ways:

• CLI mode
  • via a node executable, npx github-diary <args>
  • via docker,

docker run -it \
  --rm \
  -v $PWD/output:/output \
  cdaringe/github-diary \
  -o /output/diary.json \
  --login <github-login/username> \
  [--token <github-token>]

for the latest CLI args, please run github-diary --help

• library mode
  • via a node library, var diary = require('github-diary')

the source code is sufficiently small that i recommend you simply view src/index to see how to use it as a lib. diary.main(...) is your entrypoint, and likely all you'd want.
