Gets all of the Publiclab's repos from Github API

[Rishabh570]

Fixes #64
Now we get all of the repos (48) instead of 30 by hitting the Github API...
I'll be posting a GIF soon...

@jywarren @gauravano It turns out that fetching the contributors of all 48 repositories is not possible because we hit API limit (60 per hour) while doing so...

I think we can handle this in one of these ways,

• Fetch first 30 repositories in most recently pushed manner (this will leave those repos which are not in active development. At max, we will miss 10 contributors if we take this route)
• Hardcode the repository names which have maximum unique contributors (I mean handpick the repos so that we can make sure we include unique contributors from each repo).

I think 1st option is a way to go...

Thanks for thinking through this! How many requests are required per repository?

I think for now we could go for the ones with recent activity -- there are plenty of PL repos that are essentially "archived" and have no activity, and 30 is plenty for now. So +1 for #1!

Looking at the network tab, it is 2 per repo...1 for fetching repos(30), one should be for getting plots2 contributors...need to fit all these under 60, time to do some maths 😄

@jywarren Okay, so what I've done is, I've fetched all the 48 repos according to recent pushes/recent activity and spliced that array to get first 30 of them, I think there is some improvement because total contributors number has increased, here is the GIF...

What do you think?

[jywarren]

Yay!! This is perfect. Let's do it!
