gddoexp

gddoexp

gddoexp is the command line that uses the library.

By default, the tool will connect to your local Redis server to retrieve the gddo database, you could change that via parameters.

To run the program faster you should create a credential in Github and pass it to the program so we could get a more flexible rate limit.

You could also get some progress while running the tool, like the following example:

% gddoexp -id cba321 -secret abc123 -progress
15 / 132277 [>----------------------------------------------] 0.01 % 12h45m10s

When the progress bar isn't enabled only the packages selected to be suppressed are going to be printed in the stdout. Otherwise, you could always check the output log, by default is gddoexp.out.

This tool contains a local cache for the Github responses that will be stored in $HOME/.gddoexp. This is useful to avoid repeated queries to Github API.

For all options please check the -h flag:

% gddoexp -h
