A tool for starring GitHub repositories. It detects dependent libraries
which are hosted on GitHub via `.cabal` file,
and stars the repositories all at once.
Setup
-----
The project is managed by Stack, so you can install it simply:
```console
$ git clone https://github.com/y-taka-23/thank-you-stars.git
$ cd thank-you-stars
$ stack install
```
To star GitHub repositories, you have to get your personal access token.
1. Open https://github.com/settings/tokens and press "Generate new token."
1. Input the description and check only "public_repo" as a scope.
1. Save the token as `$HOME/.thank-you-stars.json`:
```json
{
"token": "SET_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
}
```
Usage
-----
Run `thank-you-stars` in the root directory of your project.
Then it scans all `.cabal` files under the current directory
and metadata of the packages from the local Stackage DB,
stars your dependent libraries if they are hosted on GitHub.
```console
$ thank-you-stars
