This is an interface that uses GitHub pages and the API that is provided there to render a searchable interface of repositories for an individual or organization. See this post for a review of how it works.

To use this repository for your organization, just fork it there, and turn on GitHub pages! By default, this will render an interface at <account>.github.io/search. If you want to change this, simply rename the repository, and be sure to change the baseurl variable in _config.yml. You'll also likely want to change the title (appears in the top left)

title:        vsoch/search
baseurl:      "/search"

The repository variable is required to run the "github-pages" plugin locally.

repository:    vsoch/search

If you haven't already, you would need to install Jekyll and then install dependencies using the Gemfile:

bundle install

Rendering the site locally can be done as follows:

bundle exec jekyll serve

Warning it's fairly easy to use up your rate limit rendering locally. I recommend working carefully and doing a test when you are ready, and using GitHub pages to render for you (I didn't seem to ever get any messages about limits when I pushed there, however I tried to do this conservatively).

You are free to customize the style as you please, and specifically the color of the "scroll to top" bottom can be customized from the _config.yml.

# Scrolltop color
scrolltop_color: "#fd1268"

I chose a pink that matches my GitHub icon, and I suspect you'd want to do the same for your user or organization account.
