5 entertaining things you can find with the GitHub Search API

Let's have some command-line fun with curl, [jq][1], and the [new GitHub Search API][2].

Today we're looking for:

The hottest repositories created in the last week.
The oldest user accounts with zero followers. (So sad.)
Issue trends by language.
Clojure projects defying convention.

A brief example on how to use npx to run gist based scripts.

When you create a npm package, remember it might be used in a browser or a server, or even a command line utility… For each package you create, please pay attention at what it will be used for:

Is it going to be used as a dependency to a nodejs application that is not bundled? (e.g. command line utilities)
Is it going to be used as a dependency to a nodejs application that is bundled? (e.g. AWS Lambdas)
Is it going to be used as a dependency to a browser application (always bundled)?.

In cases 2) and 3) you want to allow for tree shaking.
In cases 1) and 2) you want to benefit from the "ES6"/"ES next" features supported natively by nodejs.
In case 3) you also want to benefit from the native support of "ES6" from your browser.
