## Using awesome.groovy script

You can use the `awesome.groovy` script to search awesome projects on github and generate the entry prepoulated with project name, repo url and description in markdown format. All you need to do is place it under right group in the markdown list in `README.md`.

### Examples

to find out repos where language is groovy and whose name contain gpars and

    ./awesome.groovy -l groovy gpars

to find out repos by user 'kdabir' and name contains glide

    ./awesome.groovy -u kdabir glide

to find out repos whose name contains glide

    ./awesome.groovy glide

If you are lazy to download the repo, an easy way is:

    groovy "https://git.io/awesome" -l groovy glide
