Michael #2: Github CLI

  • GitHub’s official command line tool
  • Features
    • Checking out a pull request locally
    • You can clone any repository using OWNER/REPO syntax: gh repo clone cli/cli
    • Create a pull request interactively: gh pr create

Brian #3: caniscrape - Know before you scrape. Analyze any website's anti-bot protections in seconds.

  • reddit announcement and discussion

  • caniscrape checks a website for common anti-bot mechanisms and reports:

    • A difficulty score (0–10)
    • Which protections are active (e.g., Cloudflare, Akamai, hCaptcha, etc.)
    • What tools you’ll likely need (headless browsers, proxies, CAPTCHA solvers, etc.)
    • Whether using a scraping API might be better

    This helps you decide the right scraping approach before you waste time building a bot that keeps getting blocked.

Michael #4: 🐴 GittyUp
