STDK GitHub Search

Search for information across SmartThings Device SDK (STDK) GitHub repositories with multiple methods.

When to Use

• When users need to find specific documentation or source code
• When searching for related GitHub issues or discussions
• When checking latest SDK documentation or examples
• When looking for platform-specific implementation references
• When investigating error codes or troubleshooting guides

Repository Information

Two Main Repositories

Search Methods

1. Direct File Fetch (Recommended)

The skill fetches files directly from GitHub raw content URLs:

Documents: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/main/doc/{filename}.md
Source Code: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/main/src/{path}/{filename}.c

2. Using GitHub CLI (gh)

View File Contents

# View files in st-device-sdk-c repository
gh api repos/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/contents/doc/getting_started.md --jq '.content' | base64 -d
 
# View directory structure
gh api repos/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/contents/doc --jq '.[].name'

3. Download Repository as ZIP

PowerShell Download

# Download st-device-sdk-c
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/archive/refs/heads/main.zip" -OutFile "st-device-sdk-c.zip"
Expand-Archive -Path "st-device-sdk-c.zip" -DestinationPath "."
Rename-Item "st-device-sdk-c-main" "st-device-sdk-c"

Bash Download

curl -L -o st-device-sdk-c.zip https://github.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
unzip st-device-sdk-c.zip
mv st-device-sdk-c-main st-device-sdk-c

4. Clone Repository

# Clone st-device-sdk-c
git clone https://github.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c.git
 
# Clone st-device-sdk-c-ref
git clone https://github.com/SmartThingsCommunity/st-device-sdk-c-ref.git

5. GitHub Web Search
