Github provides us with an API to extract the last 14 days' stats over our repositories.

This project aims to amplify and analyse them.

Clean data

This repository contains my stats into data folder. You can remove it because you will generate your own data.

Get the data

To get the data you should use the app.py file.

The best way to use it is using the virtual environment.

Configure

The application needs a GitHub token that grants privileges read-only over your public repositories.

The application reads the token from .env file. You have to create the file .env with the following data:

GITHUB_TOKEN={your-token}

Execute the code

Once you have created the .env file with the GITHUB_TOKEN variable, we can run the code.

The best way is using the virtual environment. If you don´t know how, I explaint it here

Execute the Python app:

❯ python app.py

The application will create a structure with one .csv per day:

❯ ls -lchR data

Makefile

In addition, a Makefile is provided, so you can use it:

make update

Analysis the data

The file repos_analysis.ipynb execute a light analisys over the data.

To update it, you have to use wherever editor that you prefer. In my case, I use junyper-notebook in local environments.

❯ jupyter nbconvert --execute --to notebook --inplace repos_analysis.ipynb
