I worked on this issue and find a few things
ListByOrg is easy to refactor to fetch only appropriate repos thanks to the list-organization-repositories API has useful type values like public
, private
, and forks
. I created PR about this. #27
However List is not because the list-repos-for-user API does not have such type values. Also this API does not provide private repo and this mean include-private
flag does not work for user repos.
I think it is good to use list-repositories-for-the authenticated-user API if no username is provided. The go-github library List method uses this API if no username is provided too(https://godoc.org/github.com/google/go-github/github#RepositoriesService.List ).

Currently in the code base we fetch the repositories for a user or an organization with the following respectively
and
And when we want to exclude things such as forks,private, archived or disabled repos we simply pass over them in our evaluation
The GitHub API supports changing the types in the options that are declared above as shown in their documentation https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-repositories-for-the-authenticated-user
This would be a good issue if someone wanted to investigate this and see if they can instead modify the opts variable with the appropriate string to prevent us from getting unnecessary repos.
