The GitHub User Search Export automation allows you to extract detailed data on GitHub users based on specific search queries. This tool is ideal for founders, companies, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers looking to connect with developers, analyze user profiles, or build targeted outreach lists. With TexAu, you can automate this process, export data to Google Sheets or CSV, and schedule recurring runs to maintain up-to-date records. Follow this step-by-step guide to set up and run the automation.

Step 1: Log in to TexAu and Connect Github

Go to Accounts and connect your LinkedIn account. You can choose one of these methods:

Share via Magic Link: Share the link, copy it to your browser, and follow the steps to integrate your Github account securely.
Add Account: Sync cookies and browser data with TexAu for seamless integration.

Tip: Use Magic Link for an easy and secure connection.

Step 2: Choose Cloud or Desktop Execution

Decide how you want to run the automation:

Cloud Mode: Automates tasks on TexAu’s servers with built-in proxies. You can add custom proxies via Settings > Preferences > Proxies.
Desktop Mode: Runs automation on your local device using your IP address.

Tip: Desktop mode saves cloud runtime credits and gives more control over the process.

Step 3: Search for the Particular Github Automation

Navigate to the Automation Store on TexAu.
Use the search bar to find GitHub User Search Export automation.

Step 4: Select Your Input Source

GitHub User Search Export allows you to find and export details of GitHub users based on specific search parameters. You can refine results using filters like Best Match, Followers, Repositories, or Joined Date for targeted searches.

Single Input

Search: Enter your keyword or GitHub search URL.
Category (Optional): Select from Best Match, Followers, Repositories, or Joined Date.
Order (Optional): Choose between Descending or Ascending results.
Extract Limit (Optional): Define the number of user profiles to extract (Max. 1000).

Google Sheet

Upload Google Sheet:
- Select Google Account: Choose your connected Google account.
- Spreadsheet: Click Open Google Drive to select a spreadsheet.
- Sheet: Enter the sheet name to process data.
Optional Settings:
- Number of Rows to Process: Specify the number of rows to process.
- Number of Rows to Skip: Define rows to skip during automation.
Optional Advanced Feature:
- Loop Mode: Enable Loop Mode to re-process the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed. This is useful for tasks that require recurring updates.

Watch Row (Optional)

Watch Row feature enables automated Google Sheet-based workflows by detecting new data entries and triggering workflows instantly.

Define Watch Row settings by selecting a frequency and setting an execution timeframe.

Watch Row Schedule

None
Scheduling Intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes, every hour)
One-Time Execution
Daily Execution
Weekly Recurrence (e.g., every Monday and Friday)
Monthly Specific Dates (e.g., 6th and 24th)
Custom Fixed Dates (e.g., December 11)

By default, Watch Row runs every 15 minutes and continues for five days unless modified.

With Watch Row, TexAu ensures efficient, automated task execution.

Process a CSV File

Upload CSV File: Upload a CSV file containing user search queries.
Adjust Settings:
- Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Limit rows for processing.
- Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define rows to skip.
Provide Input Details:
- Ensure the correct column contains valid search queries or URLs.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

TexAu lets you schedule the automation to run at regular intervals, ensuring your data remains current. Click Schedule to set a start date and time or select a recurrence frequency:

None
At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 12 hours)
Once
Every Day
On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Thursday)
On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 5th and 20th)
On Specific Dates (e.g., February 15)

Tip: Scheduling is useful for monitoring new users or updated profiles regularly.

Step 6: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

Avoid detection and simulate human-like activity by setting an iteration delay. Choose minimum and maximum time intervals to add randomness between actions. This makes your activity look natural and reduces the chance of being flagged.

Minimum Delay: Enter the shortest interval (e.g., 10 seconds).
Maximum Delay: Enter the longest interval (e.g., 20 seconds).

Tip: Random delays keep your automation safe and reliable.

Step 7: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Choose how to save and manage the extracted alumni data. TexAu provides the following options:

Append (Default): Adds new results to the end of existing data, merging them into a single CSV file.
Split: Saves new results as separate CSV files for each automation run.
Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results.
Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows.

Tip: Google Sheets export makes it easy to collaborate with your team in real time.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access your extracted user data. Locate the GitHub User Search Export automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

Screenshot Suggestion: Display the Data Store screen with the “See Data” button highlighted.

The GitHub User Search Export automation simplifies the process of finding and analyzing GitHub users.
