Discover repositories you should be following on Github.
Github Recommendation Engine 
A single Python script which queries the Github API to return a list of repositories you might be interested in following.
Usage
First, make sure you've entered your Github API token in your global git config. Then:
$ pip install git+https://[email protected]/modocache/github-recommendation-engine.git
$ github-recommendation-engine
... Wait a long time ...
['<Repository: modocache/github-recommendation-engine>', ...]
Limitations
Github limits calls to the API to 60 per minute. In order to attain relevant data on users and repositories you might be interested in, this program queries the API quite a lot, taking a breather whenever Github returns an API Rate Exceeded error. If you follow a lot of repos, the program might take a considerable amount of time to produce a result.
You might be wondering whether Github would appreciate so many requests being thrown at it--I wonder as well, and I plan on getting some feedback from an admin once I get a chance.
Requirements
- github2, a Python wrapper for the Github API
