README
Github Starred Repos to Pinboard Bookmarks
==========================================
It turns recently starred repos from a Github account into bookmarks in Pinboard.
It makes the bookmark like this:
That is, it sets the bookmark title to the repo name followed by the short, one-liner repo description. It lists the languages used in the repo in order of bytes, too. Just for you. Because I like you. It also lists the as much of the readme file as will fit in Pinboard's description field.
Usage
-----
Get your Github OAuth token from [here](https://github.com/settings/applications).
Get your Pinboard API token from [here](https://pinboard.in/settings/password).
By default, if you have an existing bookmark with the same URl as a starred repo, this script will change that bookmark to match the above styling. If you wish to change this, set the ```replace``` variable to ```no```. Note that even if ```replace``` is ```yes```, the datetime on existing bookmarks will not be altered by this script.
The bookmarks will be tagged with the terms in the ```tags``` variable.
On first run, it creates a config file with the same base filename as you named this script. (If you didn't rename the script, it'll be called ```exporter.config```)
You can uncomment and fill in ```gh_username```, ```gh_token```, and ```pb_token``` if you do not want to create a config file.
Otherwise, run the script and follow the directions.
Requirements
------------
python 2.6 - 2.7.5
[Requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/)
Limitations
-----------
It only works for the 100 most recently starred repos. It works for any number of repos. Thanks, [jdherg](https://github.com/jdherg)!
API calls are limited to 4103 characters which really cuts down on how much of the readme file is included in the description. If anybody has a good workaround for this, please submit a pull request.
TODO
----
* Make it work for folks who have more than 100 starred repos. done.
* Make it fail more gracefully
* Pinboard rate limit failure (once every 3 seconds) done.
* Github rate limit failure (60 per hour unauthenticated or 5000 authenticated). The authenticated limit isn't a problem because the pinboard rate limit is already significantly lower: 3/second, or 1200/hour
* Add an option to replace existing bookmarks with the original datetime done.
* Check to ensure the entered github username exists.
