Reshuffles the adopters list to lead with big brands (Docker, HashiCorp, Microsoft, Vercel, Google Cloud, AWS) followed by high-profile OSS (FerretDB, Tyk, Outline, etc.), so the section reads as strong social proof rather than a niche catalog. Adds website/scripts/find-adopters, a small Go CLI that sidesteps the 1000-result cap on GitHub Code Search by partitioning queries per star bucket (and per pushed-year when a bucket overflows), then enriches every hit via a batched GraphQL call. The result is a ranked TSV/JSON of adopter candidates, filterable by min stars and owner type, that can be rerun periodically to keep the list fresh. Exposed via `task find-adopters` in website/Taskfile.yml.
find-adopters
A small Go tool that scans GitHub for every public repository containing a
Taskfile.yml or Taskfile.yaml and produces a ranked list of adopter
candidates for the taskfile.dev "Used by" section.
How it works
GitHub Code Search caps results at 1000 per query. find-adopters partitions
queries by star bucket (and, for the 0-star bucket, by pushed-year) so
every sub-query stays under the cap. Each unique repo is then enriched via a
single batched GraphQL call (stars, description, owner type, language, topics)
and sorted by popularity.
The full scan typically takes 15-30 minutes, mostly spent respecting the Code Search rate limit (30 req/min).
Usage
# From this directory:
go run . -v # full scan → adopters-scan.tsv
go run . --min-stars 100 -v # only >=100 stars
go run . --owner-type org --json -o orgs.json
Or from the website root (if the Taskfile task is installed):
task find-adopters -- --min-stars 100 -v

Auth
A GitHub token is required. In order of precedence:
GITHUB_TOKENenv vargh auth token(requires the GitHub CLI)
The token needs no special scopes for public data.
