Question

Google Maps v2 is being retired, so I need to audit all our private repositories on Github for uses of it. I could clone them all down and run a grep, but there are a lot (mid 3 figures) so I’d rather do everything on the server if possible. Unfortunately Github’s search will only search public projects (as far as I can see), and I can’t see anything in the API to do what I want.

Any ideas?

Note that there already is a feature to grep code from private GitHub repos:

However, it has no API, so you’d need to do some good old scraping of links with the format:

To walk multiple repos, you could use iMacros for Chrome/Firefox, WWW::Mechanize if you’re up to some Perl-fu, or PhantomJS if you’re a JavaScript ninja.
