# Searching Keywords in GitHub

### Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

Use the following Python script to search for a keyword in a repository and export the matching lines to a CSV file using the GitHub API. This can be used to locate all references to Split SDK method calls like `getTreatment` across a codebase.

#### Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

The following environments:

* Python 2.7.15
* requests 2.20.1

### Prepare the Python script <a href="#prepare-the-python-script" id="prepare-the-python-script"></a>

1. Open `Constants.py` and update the following:

* `REPO` with the GitHub repository in \[owner]/\[repo] format.
* `TOKEN` with your GitHub personal access token (required to use the GitHub Search API and access private repos).
* `KEYWORD` with the term you'd like to search for, such as getTreatment or a wrapper method used by your team.
* Optionally, update the log file name (`LOG_FILE`) and output path for CSV results (`CSV_PATH`).

### Run the Python script <a href="#run-the-python-script" id="run-the-python-script"></a>

```bash
python Main.py
```

A CSV file will be generated with the name format `[CSV file name]_[Keyword].csv`. Each row contains the file path, line number, and matching code line.
