GitHub Issue Stats (GHIS)

GHIS is a command line tool that calculates and plots stats about a GitHub project's issues:

• The number of open issues/pull requests over time
• Average lead time in days (time from open to closed) over time
  
• A Cumulative Flow Diagram

Prerequisites

You need the following software installed

• cURL
• jq
• Ruby
• gnuplot

Usage

First, define your GitHub credentials in GITHUB_AUTH. This is to avoid getting throttled when you pull down issues with the GitHub API.

# Username/password
export GITHUB_AUTH='-u username:password'
# Or, if you prefer token auth
export GITHUB_AUTH='-H "Authorization: token TOKEN"'

Fetch a copy of GitHub issues to disk:
