I like to search for multiple topics topic:go topic:ecs in addition to narrowing searches by language. It would be nice if there was a flag that could be specified multiple times.

Thanks for a handy tool!

Hi,

I love your tool, very modern and intuitive, but it misses few things, like searching for code, commits, issues, users, etc...

I'm currently using this one for searching code, very similar to your tool, but nodejs: https://github.com/feinoujc/gh-search-cli

Description

A QoL addition would be an extra flag to limit the number of results, as the options at the top are not always visible due to my small window size. I tried something, see the diff and GIF below for more clarity. I can open a PR, but open an issue first to get feedback on whether this is something you actually want to include in your project, and to ask if you even want to write the code yourself (I'm not a Go programmer, but it seems doable).

First the standard command gh s awesome and then with the additional -L flag.

• added flags for lang and topic to handle lists of the type -l lang1 -l lang2 -t topic1 -t topic2
• refactored a few functions for better readability
• added new instructions in gh s --help and README.md

Resolves #2

Goreleaser does not automatically generate release notes, so you will need to register your release in draft form and click the "Auto generate release-notes" button manually before publishing.

ref: https://goreleaser.com/ci/actions/#usage

Following this discussion it can be useful to allow the user to skip the prompt for repository name and query against topic and language only.

The idea is to implement a new flag, say -E, such that whenever such flag is passed, the query string defaults to empty name and we search against the rest of the flags only. Whilst this may result in very wide searches and therefore longer response times, it does allow for nice use cases of statistics and repository lists.

• PR
• Wiki examples

Maybe good idea to bind Esc key to escape/reset the prompt? For example, the user might want to change the search term but there's no way to change it except to quit the command (e.g. using Ctrl-C).

PS: Thanks for this nifty extension. :)

Description

This PR aims to introduce a new flag (-L/ --limit) into this repo that allows the number of results to be limited. The name of the flag was derived from the gh tool, see image below for more clarity.

Fix #17

code quality

The code was checked with .pre-commit-config.yaml and lintered with golangci-lint. See log outpul below for more clarity, the raised issue from the linter I have left in there for now, I can remove it if you like.

note

This is only the second time I have edited code in Go. Feel free to propose changes or commit the patch with your own changes.

for now there is \U0001F449 used but it would be nice to have option to change this somehow for example through config, flag or environment variable

it would be useful for those who don't have fonts with this unicode
