Quick Start

Use this quick start guide to generate a fresh leaderboard report.

Setup Instructions

This script requires a configuration file to operate. This file specifies the repositories and organizations to scan.

Below is an example of a configuration file named slim-config.json:

{
  "targets": [
      {
        "type": "repository",
        "name": "https://github.com/nasa-ammos/slim"
      }
  ]
}

Additional examples can be found in the examples/ sub-folder within the source repository.

Run Instructions

Requirements:

This software requires Python 3.7 or later. Usually, you'll want to create a virtual environment in order to isolate the dependencies of SLIM Leaderboard from other Python-using applications. Install SLIM Leaderboard into that environment using pip:

pip install slim-leaderboard

This installs the latest SLIM Leaderboard and its dependencies from the Python Package Index. The new console script slim-leaderboard is now ready for use. Confirm by running either:

slim-leaderboard --version
slim-leaderboard --help

To upgrade:

pip install --upgrade slim-leaderboard

Or select a specific version, such as X.Y.Z:

pip install slim-leaderboard==X.Y.Z

You'll also need a GitHub personal access token (classic). Ensure that all permissions under the "repo" group are enabled for this token, including security_events. Set the environment variable GITHUB_TOKEN with your token.

Execution:

👉 Note: the below example outputs will change as the tool evolves and adds more checks. This is for demonstration purposes only.

To generate a fresh leaderboard report, use the following command format:

slim-leaderboard --output_format FORMAT --unsorted --verbose --emoji CONFIG_FILE

The arguments above are as follows:

• CONFIG_FILE: Path to the JSON configuration file.
• (Optional) --output_format FORMAT: Replace FORMAT with TREE, TABLE, MARKDOWN, or PLAIN. Default is TREE.
• (Optional) --unsorted: If included, the results will not be sorted.
• (Optional) --verbose: If included, outputs verbose information, including detailed statistics and explanations for each check performed.
• (Optional) --emoji: If included, outputs emojis for statuses rathe than pure text (e.g. ✅ ❌ ⚠️ etc.)

Examples:

Generate a report using default settings:

slim-leaderboard slim-config.json

Generate a report in table format:

slim-leaderboard --output_format TABLE slim-config.json

Verbose output in tree format:

slim-leaderboard --output_format TREE --verbose slim-config.json

Markdown format without sorting and with emojis:

slim-leaderboard --output_format MARKDOWN --unsorted --emoji slim-config.json

Local Development

For local development of SLIM Leaderboard, clone the GitHub repository, create a virtual environment, and then install the package in editable mode into it. For example:

$ git clone --quiet https://github.com/NASA-AMMOS/slim-leaderboard.git
$ cd slim-leaderboard
$ python3 -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install --editable .

The slim-leaderboard console-script is now ready in editable mode; changes you make to the source files under src are immediately reflected when run.
