After the first one , I wrote another search provider
for gnome-shell >= 3.6 in python, this time for flipping through your github
repositories.
Screencast on vimeo . Source on github . Fedora package review in bugzilla .
A standing problem is how to prompt the user for their authentication tokens.
Right now, I require that the user maintain a ~/.search-github file by hand
including their github username and password. Ugly, but it works.
Best, I think, would be to integrate with GNOME Online Accounts. However,
it appears that I cannot write a plugin for that .
What other approaches are available? I could use a modal prompt kind of
like when NetworkManager prompts you for a wifi or VPN password and could then save
credentials to the keyring. I haven't yet figured out how to create that
prompt yet though, so if anyone knows.. kindly point me in the right direction.
Other ideas?
