Give thanks (in the form of github stars) to your fellow Rustaceans
This is intended to be installed as a cargo plugin
bash
$ cargo install --force cargo-thanks
(adding the --force upgrades to the latest version when installing)
Create a github access token with the "public_repo" permission and
store its value in an env variable named GITHUB_TOKEN
Within any of your Cargo based Rust projects, run the following
bash
$ cargo thanks
This will find all of your Cargo dependencies, find their github.com repository from metadata hosted on crates.io, and star their github repositories. This was inspired in part by medium's clapping button as a way to show thanks for someone elses work you've found enjoyment in.
