how to search github.com for multiple topics

topics-search.txt

Github.com ui .currently does not natively supoport search for multiple topic tags as of now. However their api allows you to query multiple tags. Below is a simple example to query github.com with ecs and go topic tags.

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.mercy-preview+json" \
https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=topic:ecs+topic:go

Response from the github can be rather verbose so lets filter only relavant info such repo url and description.

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.mercy-preview+json" \
https://api.github.com/search/repositories\?q\=topic:ecs+topic:go | jq '.items[] | {url:.url, description:.description}'

I built a web tool specifically for multi topic searches, using this gist githubtopics.cloudninelabs.site .

Thanks a lot 🌿.
