# GitHubFS

I got curious over the weekend and wonder what it would be like to query the GitHub API in C using [libCurl](https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/). I quickly realized I was going to need a JSON parser, so I reached for [libfastjson](https://github.com/rsyslog/libfastjson), which is a fork of json-c brought to us by the rsyslog folks.

The project has evolved! it now mounts a full list of your stared repos to a directory of your choosing using [Fuse](https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse).

The code has now been refactored to use [LMDB](https://symas.com/lmdb/) for persistence, and Repo access.

## Prerequisites

You're going to need a; Compiler, Make of some sort, libfastjson with headers, and libcurl with it's headers, libfuse, and now lmdb with it's headers.

## Building

All you need to do is run:

    make

## Running

The fetcher needs two environment variables `GH_USER`; your github username, and `GH_TOKEN`; a personal access token to your public repos. Execution might look something like this:

    export GH_USER=dmolik

    export GH_TOKEN=

    ./githubfs 

For example:

    > export GH_USER=dmolik

    > export GH_TOKEN=example123

    > ./githubfs t

    

    > githubfs t

    t
