Use when the user asks about their GitHub profile, statistics, repositories, or wants to view their GitHub information. Examples: Show me my GitHub profile, What are my top repositories, Get my GitHub stats.'

GitHub Info

Overview

Retrieve comprehensive GitHub information using the GitHub CLI (gh) tool. This skill provides scripts and commands to fetch user profile data, repository statistics, and other GitHub-related information.

Prerequisites

• GitHub CLI (gh) must be installed and authenticated
• Run gh auth login if not already authenticated

Quick Start

Get Profile Information

Use the gh_profile.sh script to retrieve your GitHub profile:

Copybash scripts/gh_profile.sh

This displays:

• Username, name, and bio
• Company and location
• Email and blog
• Follower/following counts
• Public repository and gist counts
• Account creation and update dates

Get Repository Information

Use the gh_repos.sh script to list your repositories:

Copy# Get top 10 repositories (default)
bash scripts/gh_repos.sh

# Get top 20 repositories
bash scripts/gh_repos.sh --limit 20

# Sort by creation date
bash scripts/gh_repos.sh --sort created

This displays for each repository:

• Repository name and description
• Primary language
• Star and fork counts
• Private/public status
• Last update date

Direct gh CLI Usage

For queries not covered by the scripts, use gh directly:

Copy# Get specific user information
gh api user --jq '.login, .name, .bio'

# List repositories with custom fields
gh repo list --json name,stargazerCount --jq '.[] | "\(.name): \(.stargazerCount) stars"'

# Get total stars across all repos
gh api user/repos --paginate --jq '[.[] | .stargazers_count] | add'

Advanced Usage

For additional gh CLI patterns and commands, see references/gh_commands.md which includes:

• Pull request and issue management
• GitHub Actions workflow queries
• Gist operations
• Advanced API queries with jq filters
