awesome-repositories

Automatically curates and manages a personal list of GitHub repositories you've starred. Useful for operations teams to track and organize open-source projects, dependencies, and tools. Integrates with GitHub and Claude agents.

[{"step":"Export your GitHub starred repositories as a JSON file.","action":"Go to GitHub > Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens > Generate a new token with 'read:user' and 'read:org' scopes. Use the GitHub API (e.g., `curl -H 'Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN' https://api.github.com/users/YOUR_USERNAME/starred`) to fetch your starred repositories. Save the output as `starred_repos.json`."},{"step":"Use the prompt template to analyze the repositories.","action":"Copy the prompt template into Claude or ChatGPT. Replace [TIME_PERIOD] with a timeframe (e.g., '6 months'), [TOPIC_AREA] with your focus area (e.g., 'devops tools'), and [SPECIFIC_USE_CASE] with your target use case (e.g., 'building scalable backend services'). Paste the contents of `starred_repos.json` when prompted for the repository data."},{"step":"Refine the output for your needs.","action":"Review the generated markdown table. Filter out repositories that are inactive or irrelevant. Add or remove columns based on your priorities (e.g., add 'License' or 'Primary Language'). Use the summary and recommendations to guide your next steps, such as prioritizing which repositories to explore further."},{"step":"Integrate the curated list into your workflow.","action":"Save the refined list as a `.md` file in your team's documentation repository (e.g., `docs/starred-repos.md`). Share it with your team via Slack or email. Use it as a reference when evaluating new tools or dependencies for projects."},{"step":"Set up automation for future updates.","action":"Use a GitHub Actions workflow to periodically refresh the list. For example, create a workflow that runs monthly, fetches your starred repositories, and commits the updated markdown file to your documentation repo. Example workflow: `name: Update Starred Repos\non:\n schedule:\n - cron: '0 0 1 * *'\njobs:\n update:\n runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n steps:\n - uses: actions/checkout@v4\n - run: curl -H 'Authorization: token ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}' https://api.github.com/users/YOUR_USERNAME/starred > starred_repos.json\n - run: python3 scripts/generate_repo_list.py starred_repos.json > docs/starred-repos.md\n - run: git config --global user.name 'GitHub Actions'\n - run: git config --global user.email 'actions@github.com'\n - run: git add docs/starred-repos.md\n - run: git commit -m 'Update starred repositories list'\n - run: git push`"}]
