gitCreateRepo(token, name[, description, homepage, privateBool])

Create a repository. Parameters:

• token: Required. Your personal Github access token (https://github.com/settings/tokens). Make sure when creating or editing your token to check these checkboxes:
  • repo
  • user
  • delete_repo
• name: Required. The name of the repository.
• description: A short description of the repository.
• homepage: A URL with more information about the repository.
• privateBool: Either true to create a private repository or false to create a public one. Creating private repositories requires a paid GitHub account. Default: false.

gitDeleteRepo(token, name)

Delete a repository. Parameters:

  • repo
  • user
  • delete_repo
• name: Required. The name of the repository.

Twitter

twAuth()

Authenticate. All Twitter commands need authentication, as well as gimmeTheDude(). Once authenticated, your authentication token will be stored in sessions, which means it would have to be regenerated when restarting the app, or cleaning your cookies.

twUsername()

Get your Twitter username.

twSearchTweet(searchQuery)

Returns a collection of relevant Tweets matching a specified query. Parameters:

• searchQuery: A UTF-8, URL-encoded search query of 500 characters maximum, including operators. Queries may additionally be limited by complexity. (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/search/api-reference/get-search-tweets.html)

Lebowsky special command

gimmeTheDude()

Search for "The Dude" projects on GitHub, then, for each project, search for any tweets mentioning it. Output the Github summary of each project together with a list of recent tweets. Important: twAuth() needs to be run before.

Dev

Run npm run dev to get started. This will check if your code pass the linter, lift the app and watch the files to reload the app automatically when change occurs. More options of scripts are available, check package.json -> scripts.
