A cross-platform CLI and GUI tool to extract GitHub data (PRs, commits, issues, releases) into Markdown/JSON/PDF formats.

GitHub Extractor is a comprehensive tool that extracts and analyzes GitHub repository data including:

• Data Extraction: Pull Requests, Issues, Commits, Branches, and Release notes
• Multiple Interfaces:
  • CLI (Command Line Interface) for automation and scripting
  • GUI (Graphical User Interface) with Electron for interactive use
• Export Formats: Markdown, JSON, and PDF (with charts and visualizations)
• Analytics: Automatic report generation with metrics, trends, and recommendations
• Batch Processing: Export multiple repositories simultaneously
• Smart Mode: Incremental exports fetch only new/updated items (80-95% faster)

• Two Interfaces: Choose between CLI for automation or GUI for interactive use
• Comprehensive Exports: Markdown, JSON, and PDF with charts and visualizations
• Intelligence: Automatic analytics generation with trends, predictions, and insights
• Efficiency: Incremental exports (80-95% faster) - only fetch new/updated items
• Scalability: Batch process dozens of repositories in a single command
• Universal Access: Works with your repositories, collaborators, or any public repository
• Consistency: Reports adapt to export scope - complete for backups, accurate for filtered exports
