   This will install the tool directly to your pi environment.

2. Using npm: Alternatively, you can install it globally using npm. If you have npm installed, run:

✔️ Verify Installation

🔑 Setup Your Personal Access Token (PAT)

This tool requires a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) to interact with the GitHub API. You can provide your token in one of two ways:

Option 1: Use Environment Variable (GITHUB_PAT)

For most users, setting an environment variable is the easiest way. Run this command in your terminal:

export GITHUB_PAT=ghp_your_token_here

Be sure to replace ghp_your_token_here with your actual GitHub PAT.

Option 2: Use a File Path (GITHUB_PAT_FILE)

If you prefer storing your token in a file, you can do that as well. This option is useful for systems like NixOS or Docker where secrets are often stored in files. Here’s what to do:

1. Create a text file that contains only your token.

2. Set the environment variable like this:

   export GITHUB_PAT_FILE=/path/to/github_token.txt
   

Make sure the file contains only the token, and check for any extra spaces or newlines. This method works well for:

• NixOS automatic deployments
• Docker secrets mounted as files
• Kubernetes secrets
• systemd configurations

🛠️ Using pi-github-tools

Now that you have installed and set up your token, you can start using pi-github-tools. Here’s how to perform common tasks:

Searching Repositories

To search for repositories, open your terminal and type:

pi-github-tools search "repository-name"

Replace repository-name with the name you want to search for. The tool will return a list of matching repositories.

Reading Repository Information

To read repository details, use the command:

pi-github-tools info "owner/repo"

Replace owner/repo with the actual repository path. This command provides details such as the README, stars, and contributions.

Exploring Repository Issues

You can also view issues in a repository. Use:

pi-github-tools issues "owner/repo"

This command lists open and closed issues for the specified repository. It’s a great way to see what challenges users face or how you can contribute.

⚙️ System Requirements

This tool is lightweight and works well on most systems. Ensure you have the following:

• A computer running a compatible version of Linux or Windows.
• Node.js installed (preferred version: 14.x or later).
• An internet connection to access the GitHub API.
