Quickly give a plugin (github) star in Xcode Package Manager

[azurechen]

It may not need to display the stars number as issue-422 mentioned.
But I think adding a button to quickly star a plugin can encourage the developer.

You need to be logged in to github to star repositories, so this feature would mean we'd need a way to let users log in to GH in Alcatraz right?

[azurechen]

Yes, I think the login feature is necessary, it may not be easy but it is possible.
@jurre How do you think?

[jurre]

Is it really that much extra work to just use the github link and star it there?

[azurechen]

I am always lazy to open the link and star it, I don't know how the other users thinking.
Just an idea for your reference :)

But I think the work is not quite hard, according to the API doc
https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/starring/

To star a repo, just run the following command
curl -i -u user:name -X PUT https://api.github.com/user/starred/:owner/:repo

Example
curl -i -u azurechen:******* -X PUT https://api.github.com/user/starred/azurechen/R.swift-plugin

Removing the star is easy too
curl -i -u user:name -X DELETE https://api.github.com/user/starred/:owner/:repo

It may be the easiest way to star/unstar a repo. But store the username and password in Alcatraz app is necessary.

Another way is using OAuth2 and get authorization by webview.

It will be more complicate and the Alcatraz app should add a function to open a WebView (I guess)
