how to search github.com for multiple topics
Github.com ui .currently does not natively supoport search for multiple topic tags as of now. However their api allows you to query multiple tags. Below is a simple example to query github.com with ecs and go topic tags.
curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.mercy-preview+json" \
https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=topic:ecs+topic:go
Response from the github can be rather verbose so lets filter only relavant info such repo url and description.
curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.mercy-preview+json" \
https://api.github.com/search/repositories\?q\=topic:ecs+topic:go | jq '.items[] | {url:.url, description:.description}'
