Introducing ghextractor - Export GitHub Data with One Command!

Hey everyone! I just published a tool I've been working on that I think some of you might find useful. It's called ghextractor, and it lets you export all your GitHub repo data (PRs, issues, commits, branches, releases) into Markdown or JSON files.

## What it does
- Zero setup - works right out of the box with GitHub CLI
- Export to Markdown, JSON, or both formats
- Full repo backup with one command
- Handles GitHub rate limits automatically
- Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux
- Open source (MIT license)

## How to use it

npm install -g ghextractor
ghextractor

That's it! The tool will guide you through selecting your repo and export options.

## Why I built it
I needed to document some old projects and realized there wasn't a simple way to export all the GitHub data. So I built this tool to make it easy for anyone to:
- Backup their repos
- Generate documentation
- Analyze project history
- Migrate data between systems

It's got 139 automated tests, so it should be pretty reliable.

Check it out and let me know what you think! Feature requests welcome.

Does it still make sense to pour your heart into open-source in the AI era?

I know it sounds silly but it's quite serious question, mods please don't delete this post

I love 2 things about open source - one is seeing that people actually use stuff that I've built, and second is getting Github stars for it. It's been like this for me for many, many years. However, when I see what happens recently on vibe coding subreddits - where some people have literally 50-100 applications (!!) published just because they know how to use AI efficiently, I feel a bit discouraged. What's your take on this?

Contributing to opensource

Hello, everyone. I want to try contributing to open source code. For example, I took https://wayland.freedesktop.org/, I know how to use git and understand the syntax of the language, but I am completely unfamiliar with the architecture of the project. Which file is responsible for which functionality, and how do I run the project to see a specific function? In simple terms: how can I use my knowledge of programming languages and tools to start helping to solve issues?
The simplest and most clumsy option I can see is to set a breakpoint on the main function and go through the entire project step by step, but this is terribly time-consuming. How do people participate in open source development?

OmniLED - Customizable OLED screen manager, primarily aimed at SteelSeries devices

Hi,
I've been polishing my side project https://github.com/llMBQll/OmniLED for a while now and I just want to get it out to more people.
It's written in rust, works on Windows and Linux and doesn't require SteelSeries GG software to be active. It's also very customizable thanks to an embedded Lua noscripting engine that allows to display the data in any way you want.


If you have a SteelSeries (or any other device) with an OLED screen, it would mean a lot to me if you could check it out and maybe suggest some features or help me extend the supported device list

Built a tiny high-performance telemetry/log tailing agent in Zig (epoll + inotify). Feedback & contributors welcome

I’ve been hacking on a little side-project called zail — a lightweight telemetry agent written in Zig that watches directories recursively and streams out newly appended log data in real time.

Think of it like a minimal “tail-F”, but built properly on top of epoll + inotify, no polling, and stable file identity tracking (inode + dev_id). It’s designed for setups where you want something fast, predictable, and low-CPU to collect logs or feed them into other systems.

# Why I’m posting

I’m looking for early contributors, reviewers, and anyone who enjoys hacking on:

epoll / inotify internals
log rotation logic
output sinks (JSON, TCP/UDP, HTTP, Redis, etc.)
async worker pipelines
structured log parsing
general Zig code quality improvements

The codebase is small, easy to navigate, and friendly for new Zig/system-level contributors.

# Repo

https://github.com/ankushT369/zail

If you like low-level Linux stuff or just want a fun project to tinker with, I’d love your thoughts or contributions!

What open-source project should i enter to?

For context, I use Fedora as my OS. I currently work with JavaScript, and I want to join an open-source project to learn, contribute, and help. I love CLIs, TUIs, and those kinds of things. Does anyone know a project?

Do I Need to Show MIT License Attribution in My App’s UI After Forking a Project?

Hi,
If I fork an MIT-licensed project and publish my own customized version, is it enough to keep the original MIT license file inside my project repository?

Am I allowed not to display the license or attribution anywhere in the user-facing UI (like an About page or Legal page on my website), as long as the license remains unchanged in the codebase?

Just want to confirm if this is compliant with MIT license requirements.
