This application is intended to be used used with the GitHub Search API

# interview-project Bookshout interview project.

Assignment: Using the GitHub Search API, implement a web app that queries repositories based on user input and displays the following data / options:

Business Requirements:

• A list of the results along with the programming language for that repo

• A filtering of the results based on the languages returned (can use AJAX or make separate requests)

• Sort by stars in either asc or desc order

• Pagination, if available

• Persist the user’s information upon logging in to the app in a DB

Technical Requirements:

• Use Ruby on Rails as backend app.

• Push code to GitHub public repo

• While the GitHub search API is public and can be used without authentication, you must authenticate your user and make authenticated requests. Use oauth.

• It must be deployed to either a micro EC2 instance or Heroku Instance

• You must persist some data in a database. Ideally, this would be the user’s information that comes back from their API after authenticating with OAuth 2

Everything else is up to you and you are free to use any tools / libraries you need to get the job done.

Things we look for:

• Code quality

• Specs / Tests

• Use of tools / gems / etc

• Speed of completion (On average, people get it knocked out in 3 days max)

• Anything you think will make your app special. Extra credit is always good.
