DEPRECATED: please use [source2pdf][] or [source2epub][] for maximum awesome!!!

Export/print content of a given github repository (or local project directory) to single pdf for quick review offline.

## Requirements

- Valid installation of [Ghostscript][] required by [pdfs2pdf][] gem
- Valid installation of [Wkhtmltopdf][] required by [html2pdf][] gem
- Valid installation of [Vim][] required by [vim_printer][] gem

## Installation

```
gem install github_exporter
```

## Synopsis/Usage

```shell

Usage:

$github_exporter -e, --exts=EXT1 EXT2 EXT3 -u, --url=URL -theme=theme_name --output-name=output_file.pdf

Example:

# Export the *.rb from the given repository

$github_exporter -e rb -u https://github.com/agilecreativity/github_exporter.git

# Export the *.rb and also 'Gemfile' from a 'github_exporter' directory
# Note: this directory must be directly below the current directory

$github_exporter -e rb -f Gemfile -u github_exporter

# Same as previous command with the 'solarized' instead of 'default' colorscheme
$github_exporter -e rb -f Gemfile -u filename_cleaner -t solarized

Options:

-u, --url=URL # The full url of the github project to be cloned OR local directory name

-e, --exts=EXT1 EXT2 EXT3 .. # The list of extension names to be exported
# e.g. -e md rb java

-f, [--non-exts=one two three] # The list of file without extension to be exported
# e.g. -f Gemfile LICENSE

-t, [--theme=theme_name] # The theme/colorscheme to be used with vim_printer see :help :colorscheme from inside Vim
# default: 'default'
# e.g. -t solarized

-o, [--output-name=output.pdf] # The output pdf filename (will default to 'repository_name'.pdf)
# e.g. -o repository_name.pdf

Export a given Github project or a local project directory to a single pdf file

```

### Sample Usage:

```shell
github_exporter -u https://github.com/agilecreativity/github_exporter.git -e rb
```

Should result in something similar to this in the console

### Sample Output

#### Using the 'default' theme/colorscheme for Vim

```shell
github_exporter -u https://github.com/agilecreativity/github_exporter.git --exts rb
```

Which generated the following [pdf output file](https://github.com/agilecreativity/github_exporter/raw/master/samples/github_exporter_default_colorscheme.pdf)

The example screenshot:

#### Use non-default colorscheme/theme for Vim

Use [seoul256][] colorscheme

```shell
github_exporter -u https://github.com/agilecreativity/github_exporter.git --exts rb --theme seoul256
```

Which generated the following [pdf output file](https://github.com/agilecreativity/github_exporter/raw/master/samples/github_exporter_seoul256_colorscheme.pdf)
