How to see how many repos created from my repo template (GitHub)

How can I see a list of all the child repos that have been created from my template repo on GitHub?

GitHub displays how many forks were created from a given repo at the top of the WUI, next to the "stars" and "watches." And you can display a list of links to those users' forks under the "analytics" tab.

How can I get a similar list of all the repos that were created from my template repo on GitHub?

Eureka! After reading this - Search based on the contents of a repository, the answer was clear! Search by README.md file content!

Use GitHub's search engine and provide a unique combination of words that appear in your README.md file. This is how I do it for my template - unfor19/terraform-multienv

in:readme sort:updated -user:unfor19 "tfmultienv"
github.com/search?q=in%3Areadme+sort%3Aupdated+-user%3Aunfor19+%22%60tfmultienv%60%22&type=repositories

To get meaningful search results

  • Sorting with sort:updated
  • Filtering out my user name -user:USERNAME with -QUALIFIER.

Instead of hardcoding USERNAME you can use the keyword @me.
