Introduction

Both GitHub and GitLab allow you to "star" repositories, and Bitbucket lets you "watch" them. "Starring" or "watching" lets you keep track of repositories you find interesting, but none of the services provide ways to search or tag your repositories so you can easily find them.

Limo lets you manage your starred repositories from the command line. You can do things like tag them, search them, or list them by language. Think of Limo as the CLI version of Astral (also worth looking into).

Installation

If you have a working Go installation, type:

$ go get -u github.com/hoop33/limo

You can also download a pre-built binary for your platform and copy it to a location on your path.

• macOS
• Linux
• Windows

Usage

Limo supports both GitHub and GitLab, and Bitbucket support is coming.

FAQ

• Why the name "limo"?
  • If you know anything about Hollywood, you know that limos carry . . . stars.
• Where is this information stored?
  • The configuration is stored in ~/.config/limo. Inside that directory, you'll find:
    • limo.yaml: Configuration information
    • limo.db: The SQLite database that stores all your stars and tags
    • limo.idx: The Bleve search index
• How do I change the "updating" spinner?
  • Limo uses https://github.com/briandowns/spinner for its "updating" spinner. You can override which spinner is used, what color to make it, and the spin interval in your limo.yaml file, like this:

    outputs:
      color:
        spinnerIndex: 10
        spinnerInterval: 300
        spinnerColor: blue
    

Contributing

Please note that this project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms. See CODE_OF_CONDUCT file.

Contributions are welcome! Please open pull requests with code that passes all the checks. See Building for more information.

Building

You must have a working Go development environment to contribute code. limo uses vendoring, so requires Go 1.6+ (or Go 1.5 with GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1, though I haven't tested that).

The included makefile performs various checks on the code. To get started, run:

$ make deps

This will install the necessary dependencies. You should have to do this only once.

Then, you can run:

$ make

To run the code checks and tests. To build and install, run:

$ make install
