By default the code looks at 1 commit from the last 10 repositories. You can look at more repositories (breadth) and more commits (depth). The maximum value for depth is 100, enforced by Github. Fue will iterate over a number of repositories larger than 100.

$ fue find --breadth=100 --depth=5 defunkt

Chris Wanstrath <chris@ozmm.org>
Chris Wanstrath <chris@github.com>
defunkt <chris@ozmm.org>

fue help

Displays additional options.

Fue will ask you to create a personal access token and will store it in the keychain. The access token should be created with public_repo scope here. You can also skip the prompts and use a previously obtained token with -t or by setting the GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable.

See Creating a Personal Access Token for the Command Line for more information about personal tokens.

If you run into an unexpected error, try getting a stack trace with GLI_DEBUG=true.
