Question Date: 2012-01-03 09:17:09

We are working on a project where we need to display all the projects of a person in his repository on GitHub account.

Can anyone suggest, how can I display the names of all the git repositories of a particular person using his git-user name?

Using the official GitHub command-line tool:

    gh auth login

    gh api graphql --paginate -f query='
    query($endCursor: String) {
        viewer {
        repositories(first: 100, after: $endCursor) {
            nodes { nameWithOwner }
            pageInfo {
            hasNextPage
            endCursor
            }
        }
        }
    }
    ' | jq ".[] | .viewer | .repositories | .nodes | .[] | .nameWithOwner"

Note: this will include all of your public, private and other people’s repos that are shared with you.
