Trudging through the trenches of GitHub definitely has its drawbacks, despite having pretty much every single developer in existence on this platform. If only there was some easy to use tool that could compile all of these geeks into one easy list! Well, Dean Da Costa has found a streamlined tool to assist in your GitHub scavenger hunt, dubbed HireGit.

This app lets you source developers based on the following criteria (that you can mix and match):

• Programming Language
• Country
• Followers
• Git Age
• Sorting Order

Source Developers the Smart Way.

What really puts this tool ahead of the competition is the design. Not just from a point of aesthetics, which is another area this tool outshines the competition, but also in terms of how approachable its results are. 

It’s like looking at that rare breed of PowerPoint presentations that condenses endless amounts of data and presents it in an easily digestible format. That’s what this tool is doing with GitHub profiles. And it’s all done on the fly as you search for users. 

Uniquely enough, a great feature that hasn’t been available in other GitHub search engines is an “employability” score. While arbitrarily phrased, their employability score implies how active the user is on the platform. Cold calling is brutal enough as it is, so this will prevent you wasting your time on abandoned or inactive profiles.

It’s obvious that the devs at TechNarcs have a background in user interface and experience design. With this in mind, if you want to try it for yourself, be sure to head on to hiregit.netlify.app.  

Fair Warning: You’ll have to connect your Google account to run your searches.

This begs the question, how does one find hard working, project oriented developers? GitHub is cool and all, what with being the world’s largest repository of independent developers, but trying to manually search GitHub repos is pretty tedious, right?

Fear not, as all of that primo talent could just be a Grep.app search away.

Take the Easy Street and Search Github With Grep.App

Luckily, you don’t have to deal with the headaches of glaring at endless lines of code. By using Grep.app you can select the programming language and skills you’re looking for along with some relevant keywords. Near instantly, the tool will present a massive list of repositories that match your requirements. Now you can effectively search GitHub and find those elusive code hoarders.

From there, it’s only a matter of finding the most active and promising devs. Once you’ve got your list ready, you can easily use a GitHub email finder to extract their addresses and start some conversations. 

Grep.app supports regular expressions as well, which are those nifty advanced search functions we all love so much. As boring as they may sound, regular expressions can supercharge your hunting by letting you utilize sophisticated search patterns.

To read up on regular expressions and how to take full advantage of them, GitHub has you covered.

One thing to note, if you already have a developer in mind this is also a great place to look up their coding history. Any developer, independent or otherwise, should have at least a morsel of code on GitHub. Check out what people have to say about their code. The proof is in the pudding, and code never lies!
