gitGrab

An Open-Source tool for Open-Source Enthusiast that shows your GitHub Contribution on the terminal

Why its created?

I was quite active on open source contributions and needed to track my progress across multiple repositories. I was constantly going back and forth between different tools to check my issues, followers, and pull requests. In the meantime, I discovered neofetch, an awesome command-line interface program that displays basic information about the operating system. I thought, why not create something similar to it? The starting phase of GitGrab was quite similar to neofetch, but later I added language bars and a contribution graph etc to it. For those unfamiliar with these terms, language bars display the percentage of code contributed in each programming language, and a contribution graph shows the frequency of contributions over time.

API Key Security

As the key is save on your computer and I have no power to get it from your computer, your key is safe, but still when you are giving it the permission( as the contribution graph keeps all the ticks selected) please dont select the delete and creating; or anything you find which can harm you in data breach
