github-commit-stream

A streaming interface to pull in a list of commits from a GitHub repository.

If you're looking for something less specific, github on NPM covers a lot more ground with the GitHub API - but I was running into a lot of issues with paginating commits so I whipped this up to solve the problem quickly.

Installation

npm install github-commit-stream

Usage

exports.createStream(options)

Returns a readable stream that emits commit objects directly from the API.

Takes the following options:

• user: The owner of the repository.
• repo: The repository name.
• token: Your GitHub API token. Optional.
• per_page: The amount of commits to retrieve per request. Defaults to 30.
• since: Filter to commits since this date.
• until: Filter to commits until this date.
• sha: SHA or branch to start listing commits from.
• author: filter by commit author's login, name or email.

var commitStream = require('github-commit-stream')
 
commitStream({
    token: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN
  , user: 'substack'
  , repo: 'node-browserify'
}).on('data', function(d) {
  console.log(d.commit.message)
})
