Email format, silent mode, and null suppression

[ghost]

A few ideas to consider:

• Make curl operate in silent mode.
• Use jq to parse the data, rather than sed and grep.
• Format the email address to be compatible with most e-mail clients.
• Suppress null results.

For example:

#!/bin/bash
curl -s https://api.github.com/users/$1/events/public | \
  jq -r '.[] | select(.payload != null) | .payload | select(.commits != null) | .commits[].author | .name + " <" + .email + ">"' | \
  sort | uniq
