Git Stalker

From web stalker

I imagine a sort of 'git stalker' (it could be an online service).

  • Crawler > ask the link of the git repository and start the session through the Github's API (+ further data on the connection, maybe).
  • Overview (Map) > tree -hJ >> overview.json print the data structure in a file. D3.js use the json to produce a visualization of the structure of the directory. Kinda like the map of the links in 'web stalker': central main folder and then the other folders/files distributed around the main folder and so on recursively. (It is relevant the concept of Mind Map and Rhizome)

Github's API

Crawler

Access repository

  • API
<body>
	<h1>Git Stalker _ API</h1>
	<button id="btnRepos">Repos</button>
	<div id="divResult"></div>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		const btnRepos = document.getElementById('btnRepos')
		btnRepos.addEventListener("click", getRepos)
		async function getRepos(){
			const url = "https://api.github.com/repos/smore-inc/clippy.js/contents/"
			const response = await fetch(url)
			const result = await response.json()
			console.log(result)
		}

	</script>
</body>
  • Git clone (request link)
#!/bin/bash

git clone 'link'
tree -hJ >> overview.json









Some note

It is interesting to find the web stalker on Rhizome and think about this concept at the same time.
