GitHub searching repositories
GitHub search is not very good, i.e. it is not possible to order the results. Is there an alternative searching facility to search github?

Re: GitHub searching repositories
Ok, i have put a proof of concept together, let me know what you think.
It will allow simple sorting of all the main columns, forks, watchers, activity, project name etc...

Re: GitHub searching repositories
Seems good and surprisingly fast. There are some improvements I'd suggest: make column headers clickable and sort by clicked column, make search results bookmarkable by actually exposing search request in the address bar.jaoudestudios wrote:Ok, i have put a proof of concept together, let me know what you think.

Re: GitHub searching repositories
Thanks for the ideas, i have added them to the next release on github project issue tracker https://github.com/eddiejaoude/github-a ... state=open. There are more ideas added, like new project notifier etc..
Hopefully it will be useful to other developers.
