- doublerabbit 3y agoAnd downloading a blind repo isn't?
- beeboobaa 3y agoMuch less so. It can easily be parallelized without running into rate limits of the proprietary search API. Then once you've cloned it once it's on your system and you won't have to talk to github again. So much more sensible.
- doublerabbit 3y agoSensible isn't a thing when it comes to malicious activity. Same could be used to cheat the search. Downloading a repo and than neither knowing the repo has the syntax you wish to learn is still going to be more resourceful than having a webpage thrown at you with all search results.
