Showcase of GitHub repos with Pokémon names.

👉👉👉 Read Story: Building Repokémon 👈👈👈

How?

1. Scrape a list of all pokémons.
2. Use GitHub API and search for every pokémon name.
3. Get a matching repository name with highest number of stars.
4. 💥💥💥

Criteria

The showcase only list repositories with these criteria:

• Repository name matches exactly the same as Pokémon name.
  • ✅ name/pikachu
  • ✅ name/mr-mime
  • ✅ name/mr_mime
  • ⛔️ name/pikachu-awesome
  • ⛔️ name/pikachuuuu
• Most stars. If there are few repositories with the same name, the one with most stars will be listed.
• Contains description, because... it has to be descriptive.
• Contains lang, the repository language determined by GitHub.

Dev

• npm i - install dependencies
• npm run pokemon - grab the pokémons
• npm run repokemon - grab the Github repos
  • Copy example.env to .env, configure it with Client ID and Client Secret from GitHub
  • Takes about 30 minutes to prevent API rate limit issues
• npm run gemoji - replace emoji names like :smile: to 😄
• npm run min-repokemon - generate a minified version of data/repokemon.json, containing only the data that is rendered
• npm run stats - show stats of the collected data
