Application
- GitHub brings together the world's largest community of developers to discover, share, and build better software.
- GitHub profiles often include an email address, twitter handle, and/or link to a personal website.
- However, some of the best profiles simply have no contact information apart from a GitHub username.
- Hence, this python package is targetted for finding almost any GitHub user's email address, so you can easily network/reach out to your favorite developers

How It Works
How the code works:
case 1 :- locate users's non-forked repo- for that repo, scrape commits json object and iterate over each commit- for each commit, the commit URL will become: https://github.com/username/public_repo/commit/commit_id- option 1: append ".patch" to URL so it becomes https://github.com/username/public_repo/commit/commit_id.patch- option 2: looks for author json object- then simply filter email from author object.
case 2 : - check if the user has a commit in public repo using: https://api.github.com/users/{username}/events/public- then iterate over each payload, for each payload scrape it's commits, iterate over each commit and filter email. - If so grep email from there.
