Uby

🥦 Github scraper that helps you find all dependents of a project.

The Name

The name Uby is derived from "Used by" in GitHub.

Introduction

Uby is a command-line application built with Go and the Go-Colly package. It allows you to find repositories that depend on a specific GitHub repository. Uby scrapes & collects the necessary data and writes the results to deps.json.

Installation

You can install the appropriate binary from the releases page.

Note:

If you're on macOS, you may need to run xattr -c ./uby_Darwin_x86_64.tar.gz to (to avoid "unknown developer" warning)

Usage

Use the following command in your terminal:

./uby

1. Uby will ask for the repo dependents url which you can get by clicking Used by of the repo you want to search, for example: https://github.com/spf13/cobra/network/dependents
2. The application will begin crawling through the repo's dependents network. The search results will be saved in the deps.json file in the project directory.
