littleark / githut Goto Github PK

PowerShell apeared in 2006, not in 1970.

I just saw this tweet and was amazed that this data hasn't been updated since 2014.

I do realize after reading the other issues that it's something that changed with Github that made it impossible to generate data post December 2014.

What if we update this repo to utilize Googles BigQuery and their Github dataset?

Here is a Medium article with all the cool things people already done.

Might be a little bit troublesome to get historical data, but if you start building our own history now, you'll be able to have nice graphs in the future. I rather see up to date data than old historical data. :)

Let me know what you all think.

maybe a color per language is more easy to visualization

Please, update GitHut with '15 data

Improvement idea: Add a other languages turkish, german.. etc.

I can add to Turkish langauage support. Can I?

GitHut reports the Makefile language appeared in 1970. According to the Make Wikipedia article, the first release of the make utility was in 1977.

Logic dicates that the Makefile language appears after a shell language, since Makefiles depend upon a shell language.

@littleark I would like to generate the same charts but filtering the data for some keywords.

Currently, only popular languages are included in the analysis. I would really like to see, how some new/less used languages compare to the popular ones. Maybe you could add a dropdown menu that allows to choose one arbitrary language (out of all languages recognized by github) to be added to the diagrams.

Improvement idea: Add a dark theme so late night programmers / lurkers don't burn their retinas.

I think bootstrap has possibility for simple toggle switch CSS swap between dark and light themes.

Quite a few sites are adopting this now. Even MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network).

Rust is gaining a lot of popularity recently and I was going to check the stats for rust but githut didn't have that :(

It'd be cool to see a map of which countries contribute most to github repos, as well as the changes over time.

I was just doing some comparison between Scala and Clojure and noticed that the numbers are the same for Q2 and Q4 of 2012.

Thanks for the interesting visualization!
I think that that average number of contributors per repository could be an interesting metric to add. New Forks per Repository is similar, but I also find some users fork repositories of interest and not as a means of actually contributing to the repository.

Love the visualisation, but I think showing trends and being able to rank on trends would be very interesting too, especially for identifying up and coming languages instead of mainly seeing the juggernauts.

Even something like a percentage difference over the previous month and being able to sort on that would be really valuable I think.

Any ideas about whether that's something you'd be interested in having in GitHut, and any high level ideas about how you'd achieve it so someone in the community might be able to take it up?
