Excel Add-In for GitHub

Build 24.0.9175

Forks

Provides metadata about forks created from a repository, including fork ownership and purpose, to support collaboration and innovation.

View-Specific Information

Select

The add-in uses the GitHub API to process WHERE clause conditions that are built with the following columns and operators:

  • HasIssuesEnabled supports the '=' comparison operator.
  • IsLocked supports the '=' comparison operator.
  • IsPrivate supports the '=' comparison operator.
  • Visibility supports the '=' comparison operator.

For example, the following queries are processed server-side:

SELECT * FROM [Forks]
SELECT * FROM [Forks] WHERE [HasIssuesEnabled] = true
SELECT * FROM [Forks] WHERE [IsLocked] = true
SELECT * FROM [Forks] WHERE [IsPrivate] = true
SELECT * FROM [Forks] WHERE [Visibility] = 'PRIVATE'

The add-in processes other filters client-side within the add-in.

The add-in uses the GitHub API to process ORDER BY clause conditions that are built with the following columns:

  • Name
  • StargazerCount
  • CreatedAt
  • UpdatedAt
  • PushedAt

SELECT * FROM [Forks] ORDER BY [Name]
SELECT * FROM [Forks] ORDER BY [StargazerCount]
SELECT * FROM [Forks] ORDER BY [CreatedAt]
SELECT * FROM [Forks] ORDER BY [UpdatedAt]
SELECT * FROM [Forks] ORDER BY [PushedAt]

The add-in uses client-side processing when ordering by any other columns. This impacts performance.
