Ricardo 90fa683019 feat: own github-repos block + add /api/repos endpoint (Phase 7c)
Add get blocks() (github-repos, source:api) so the block is plugin-owned
(requiresPlugin stamped). Add a public /api/repos endpoint (GitHubClient +
token + cache, own repos, !fork && !private filtered server-side) so the
widget's Repos tab routes through the plugin instead of hitting api.github.com
directly from the browser — the plugin becomes the single source of truth.
Admin/config pages untouched (additive on routesPublic only).

Endpoints

Protected (require authentication)

  • GET /github-api/ - Dashboard view with all sections
  • GET /github-api/commits - Recent commits page
  • GET /github-api/stars - Starred repositories page
  • GET /github-api/contributions - PRs & Issues page
  • GET /github-api/activity - Activity feed page

Public API (no authentication)

  • GET /github-api/api/commits - JSON: Recent commits
  • GET /github-api/api/stars - JSON: Starred repositories
  • GET /github-api/api/activity - JSON: Activity feed
  • GET /github-api/api/featured - JSON: Featured repositories with commits

Using the Public API

The public API endpoints return JSON and can be used by your static site generator (Eleventy, Hugo, etc.) to display GitHub activity on your public site.

Example Eleventy data file:

import EleventyFetch from "@11ty/eleventy-fetch";

export default async function() {
  const url = "https://your-site.com/github-api/api/featured";

  const data = await EleventyFetch(url, {
    duration: "15m",
    type: "json",
  });

  return data.featured || [];
}

Environment Variables

  • GITHUB_TOKEN - Optional GitHub personal access token for:
    • Higher API rate limits (5000/hour vs 60/hour)
    • Access to private repository information
