Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

find git repos

Readme

Is Git

Create a progrm that checks if a directory in the file system is also a git repository.

Instructions

1. Complete the function

In the file is-git.js complete the exported function using the directory-exists library to check if a relative path contains a .git directory.

Constraints (Task 1)

  • The function should return a string indicating whether a git repository exists in passed path or not.
  • The function should recieve a relative path, but return a string contaning the absolute path (see examples below)
  • If a direcotry doesn't exist in the passed path, the function should exit the process and print message to the user.

Examples (Task 1)

| Case | Input | Output | |------|-------|--------| | Input is not a directory | '../hello' | Sorry, but I couldn't find a directory at /home/itamar/hello | | Input is git repository | './blockly-vue' | /home/itamar/blockly-vue is a git repository | | Input is not git repository | './blockly-vue/src' | /home/itamar/blockly-vue/src is **not** a git repository |

2. Create a cli program

In the file index.js accept at least one command line argument from the user, and import the function from is-git.js to check if the argument is a git repository.

Constraints (Task 2)

  • If no arguments are passed, the program should exit the process and print a message to the user (see examples below)
  • Add support for multiple arguments

Examples (Task 2)

Directory is a git repository
$ node index.js ../blockly-vue
> "/home/itamar/blockly-vue is a git repository"
Directory is not a git repository
$ node index.js ../blockly-vue/src
> "/home/itamar/blockly-vue/src is **not** a git repository"
Directory doesn't exist
$ node index.js ../hello
> "Sorry, but I couldn't find a directory at /home/itamar/hello"
No arguments passed
$ node index.js
> "Please pass in at least one directory path to check for git repositories"
Multiple Arguments
$ node index.js ../blockly-vue ../blockly-vue/src
> "/home/itamar/blockly-vue is a git repository"
> "/home/itamar/blockly-vue/src is **not** a git repository"

Bonus tasks

  • Use the external library chalk to add some color to your output.
  • Link the npm package globally so that you could use the program anywhere in the terminal by calling is-git <directory>.
  • Publish the program as an npm package under your user namespace.
