github-inventions

Filling-out a US employment or contract agreement? Daunted by the idea of having to fill-out a list of "prior inventions"?

We're here to help!

Run this tool and it will:

1. fetch a list of repos from GitHub for a given username
2. filter-out forks
3. filter-out user-specified repos (see --exclude option)
4. sort repos by created_at date, from youngest first to oldest last
5. format repos as a text table with 3 columns: name, created_on, description
6. output the table to stdout (default) or a given file (see --out option)
