GitHub Profile Fetcher

Simple Python script to fetch basic public information from any GitHub user profile using the GitHub REST API.

Description

This script retrieves a user's name, number of public repositories, and follower count. It uses a personal access token for authenticated requests (recommended to avoid rate limits).

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• requests library

Setup

1. Install the dependency:

   pip install requests

2. Set the following environment variables:

   • MY_GITHUB_TOKEN — Your GitHub Personal Access Token (classic or fine-grained with read:user scope)
   • MY_GITHUB_USERNAME — The GitHub username you want to look up

Usage

Run the script:

python app.py

Output Example

Success!
Name: The Octocat
Repos: 8
Followers: 12345

Notes

• The token is only used for authentication and higher rate limits.
• Never commit your token to version control.
• For production use, consider the official PyGithub library.

Would you like me to also create a `requirements.txt` or improve the script itself (better error handling, JSON output, etc.)?
