# GitHub Trending CLI

GitHub Trending CLI lists trending repositories and developers from GitHub Trends from the command line. Use it to look up popular repos or developers by language, time range, or spoken language.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/ItamarZand88/CLI-Anything-WEB/tree/main/.claude/skills/gh-trending-cli ~/.claude/skills/gh-trending-cli
```

## README

# cli-web-gh-trending

GitHub Trending on the command line: repositories and developers, read-only.
Install: `pip install cli-web-gh-trending`

## Commands

- `repos list` — trending repositories. Options: `-l/--language TEXT` (e.g. python, javascript, c++), `-s/--since [daily|weekly|monthly]` (default daily), `-L/--spoken-language CODE` (ISO 639-1, e.g. en, zh)
- `developers list` — trending developers. Options: `-l/--language TEXT`, `-s/--since [daily|weekly|monthly]`

## Examples

```bash
# Trending Python repos this week
cli-web-gh-trending repos list --language python --since weekly --json

# Top 5 by stars gained today
cli-web-gh-trending repos list --json | python3 -c "
import json, sys
for r in json.load(sys.stdin)['data'][:5]:
    print(r['rank'], r['full_name'], r['stars_today'])"

# Trending developers this month
cli-web-gh-trending developers list --since monthly --json

# Trending repos with Chinese-language READMEs
cli-web-gh-trending repos list --spoken-language zh --json
```

## JSON output

Add `--json` for structured output: `{"success": true, "data": [...]}` on success, `{"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."}` on failure.
- Repo fields: `rank`, `owner`, `name`, `full_name`, `description`, `language`, `stars`, `forks`, `stars_today`, `url`, `contributors`
- Developer fields: `rank`, `login`, `name`, `avatar_url`, `profile_url`, `popular_repo`, `popular_repo_desc`

## Utilities

`cli-web-gh-trending doctor [--json]` diagnoses local setup. `cli-web-gh-trending mcp-serve` exposes the commands as MCP tools over stdio. Running with no arguments opens an interactive REPL.

## Agent tips

- Use lowercase language names as they appear on GitHub URLs (e.g. `c++`, not `cpp`).
- Developers returns 25 entries; repos return 15–25 depending on the page. `contributors` is currently always empty and `popular_repo_desc` is often null — don't rely on them.
