Question 1

How do I star all dependencies in my project using starring?

Accepted Answer

Run `starring --all` in your project directory. This command stars all packages listed in package.json on GitHub, using the stored token for authentication, as per the usage instructions.

Question 2

Is starring safe with two-factor authentication on GitHub?

Accepted Answer

Yes, starring should work with 2FA as it creates a token with 'public_repo' scope. You'll need to provide your credentials once during setup, and it handles token creation securely, though always review token permissions.

Question 3

Can I use starring to unstar packages?

Accepted Answer

No, starring is designed only for starring packages. To unstar, you would need to use GitHub's interface or another tool, as this feature is not included in the current version.

Question 4

How does starring compare to manually starring each repo?

Accepted Answer

Starring automates the process, saving time and reducing errors. Unlike manual starring, it can batch star dependencies and handle token management, but it's limited to npm packages and public repos.

Question 5

Does starring work with Yarn or pnpm projects?

Accepted Answer

Starring relies on package.json, so it should work with any Node.js project using standard package.json. However, it's primarily tested with npm, and there might be edge cases with lock files or non-standard setups.

Question 6

What happens if I have a private dependency in my project?

Accepted Answer

Starring will likely skip or fail to star private dependencies since the token only has 'public_repo' scope. You'd need to handle those manually or look for alternative tools that support private repos.

Question 7

How do I star a specific package not in my project?

Accepted Answer

You can star an individual package by running `starring <package-name>`. This will find and star its GitHub repository directly, as shown in the examples for specific package starring.
