Usage

Running the import command

To import the repository data from GitHub run the following command and you will be prompted for required arguments

php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/console bc:gs:import;

Running the create command with shell arguments

For repeated usage of the same input you can run the script more quickly using shell arguments. Simply run

php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/console bc:gs:import -v --token= --starsQuery=">500" --iterationStore --update

starsQuery Shell Arguement Input Syntax / Format

The starsQuery shell argument input format / syntax mirrors the github reset api syntax. Learn more about this syntax from the available github documentation: https://help.github.com/articles/searching-repositories/#search-based-on-the-number-of-stars-a-repository-has and https://help.github.com/articles/search-syntax/.

iterationStore Shell Arguement

This argument while optional greatly increases the speed in which records are populated into the database and is recommended for queries which larger result sets. This ensures if the command exits for any reason manual or otherwise at least some data is stored before it exits.

update Shell Arguement

This argement is optional and ensures that existing local database records are updated durring the process. This is helpful when running the command more than once and ensures that the repository meta data including the lastPushDate field is updated.

Usage : Website UI

The solution is configured to work virtually by default once properly installed.

Views available

To use the available views simply use your web browser to navigate to them.
