NodeJS Cli Gitlab Finder

Due to the Gitlab advanced search rate limiter, I was unable to use the CLI tools written by Phillip Johnsen. So I wrote my own in NodeJS using the GitLab API NodeJS library GitBeaker by Justin Dalrymple

This project is quite straightforward with only to settings to fill in the .env file (a read only personnal auth token) and the string to search. Then you can start searching by running the search script

Notice: due to the really low rate limit (10 request per minute) you may wait for quite a long time. Based on my own experiment, about 700 seconds to search across 100 projects

1. Install

git clone git@github.com:ldbglobe/gitlab-finder.git
cd gitlab-finder
cp .env.sample .env

2. Configure

Edit the .env to put your own personnal authtoken, search string file extension and target group (optionnal) before executing the script

3. Execute with you prefered node package manager

npm install # run once to install dependencies
npm run search

pnpm install # run once to install dependencies
pnpm run search

yarn # run once to install dependencies
yarn search
