A CLI for managing starred Git repositories
Both GitHub and GitLab allow you to "star" repositories. "Starring" lets you keep track of repositories you find interesting, but none of the services provide ways to search or tag your repositories so you can easily find them.
Limo lets you manage your starred repositories from the command line. You can do things like tag them, search them, or list them by language. Think of Limo as the CLI version of Astral (also worth looking into).
If you have a working Go installation, type:
$ go get -u github.com/hoop33/limoYou can also download a pre-built binary for your platform and copy it to a location on your path.
Limo supports both GitHub and GitLab.
You can read the full usage documentation at https://www.gitbook.com/book/hoop33/limo/details.
Here's how to get started:
First, create API keys for your GitHub and GitLab accounts (with repo access) on their respective sites, and then type:
$ limo login
Enter your GitHub API token:
$ limo login --service gitlab
Enter your GitLab API token:$ limo update

Contributions are welcome! Please open pull requests with code that passes all the checks. See Building for more information.
You must have a working Go development environment to contribute code. limo uses vendoring, so requires Go 1.6+ (or Go 1.5 with GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1, though I haven't tested that).
The included makefile performs various checks on the code. To get started, run:
$ make depsThis will install the necessary dependencies. You should have to do this only once.
Then, you can run:
$ makeTo run the code checks and tests. To build and install, run:
$ make installProblem: Adding a star results in output like this:

Limo uses the following open source libraries -- thank you!
Also, thanks to contributors!
