Github repository browsing tool

This task looks like a average task you will receive from us. But it's scope is bigger than usual, since we want to see as much skills as possible.

Subject

We need to create a third-party service to list user's Github repositories.

So, the process is:

1. You log in to Github
2. You log in to our service with Github account
3. It shows a list of all your repositories, your avatar, and username on the same page

Extra

We also want to know the author of this service. Please, provide a link to the source code on the bottom of the page in a form of: Created by <link-to-your-account>, source code: <link-to-the-github-repo>.

Technologies

Fill free to use any tools you like (minding the license). But, note that you are limited to the platform.
If you are applying to python position it would be very strange to submit a js solution.

Result

This should be 100% working and deployed service. You should provide a live link for us to browse it.

Time

Time estimated: from 2 to 3 hours
If it takes more than that, well, I guess you are doing something wrong.

Process

That's how we work internally, maybe it would be helpful: http://wemake.services/meta/employees

Make sure you don’t have any questions. If you do, please, freely ask them in a GitHub issue.

Okay ...

The pronouns in the "Subject" section are unclear. Here's my interpretation:

1. A user logs in to GitHub.
2. The user logs in to the service with their GitHub account.
3. The service shows a list of all of the user's repositories, the user's avatar, and username on the same page.

Is my interpretation correct? :)

[sobolevn]

@chadwhitacre yes, it is 🙂

[serhii73]

Does the service show a list of public and private of the user's repositories or only public?

[sobolevn]

Only public.

Do I need to create a UI for the end results?

[sobolevn]

Just a simple one.

@sobolevn Any chance for a Java project in your team? Or still just Python? :)

[sobolevn]

@amihaiemil yes, we still only do python, typescript, elixir (very little) projects. I am pretty sure that we will add rust at some point. But, not yet 😞

@sobolevn Do you need a MERN stack developer (MongoDB, Express, React, Node js) [Javascript]

[sobolevn]

@Mohammad-Jouza not in the moment, sorry. We also tend to use Vue more than React (if it is important for you).

But, we have quite a big problem with frontend developers. So, we try to keep a number of available contractors as high as possible. Because, when we need them - it is hard to find one!
