Star History Comparer

This is a demo application created by GPT Pilot. The app allows you to register, login, and compare GitHub repository stars between different repositories.

You can see it in action here: https://stars.examples.gpt-pilot.ai

Prerequisites

Node.js environment, MongoDB server on localhost.

Quickstart

1. Install node packages

   npm install
   

2. Create .env file with settings:

   MONGODB_URI=mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/starcomparison
   SESSION_SECRET=your_super_secret_key
   EMAIL_PASSWORD=youremail@gmail.com
   EMAIL_USERNAME=yourpass
   FROM_EMAIL=youremail@gmail.com  # only required if different from EMAIL_USERNAME
   GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token
   PORT=3000
   APP_URL=https://myapp.com  # only required if different from http://localhost:3000
   

   GitHub token is used to connect to GitHub API and get the number of stars for repositories, MongoDB URL is the URL to connect to the database, and GMail email and password are used to send verification emails.

3. Start the server:

   npm start
   

Trying it out

After starting the server, visit http://localhost:3000/register, then pick email and password. A verification email will be sent to your email address. After clicking on the verification email, you can log in.

After you've logged in, you can select GitHub Comparison from the menu, add two GitHub repository URL and see their start charts.
