# My First NPM Package: github-traffic-cli


Since I published my first projects on GitHub I really enjoyed viewing the traffic on my repositories. It is really interesting to see how many people visit or clone my repositories.

Unfortunately it costs a lot of time to click through all available repositories and I was looking for a more elegant way.

I stumbled upon the npm package [github-traffic](https://www.npmjs.com/package/github-traffic) which already provides an API to fetch the GitHub traffic. So I decided to write a command line interface (CLI) npm package which uses this API.

As a result I can check the traffic on all of my repositories with one CLI command:
