mkonicek / repo_stats Goto Github PK

This is based on Brent Vatne's react-native-issue.

This script finds the most active people on a given GitHub repo. It fetches all the issues and pull requests via the GitHub API and all comments for each of them, and counts how many times each person commented. It reports progress and every n steps prints a summary like:

Top 10 for most recent 100 issues:
{
  "facebook-github-bot": 134,
  "bestander": 28,
  "brentvatne": 26,
  "mkonicek": 26,
  "satya164": 24,
  "martinbigio": 17,
  "ide": 17,
  "aleclarson": 16,
  "skevy": 14,
  "davidaurelio": 12,
}

To use this script, simply run:

ruby stats.rb facebook/react-native

Note that you'll almost immediately get blocked because of exceeding the API rate limit. To check the limit (the numbers are per hour), run:

curl -i https://api.github.com/users/whatever

To get a higher limit you need to use authenticated requests. Luckily, you can simply generate an access token for command line use. Important: Do this with a user that doesn't have push access or anything in case you leak the token. If you have push access to the repo just register a new dummy GitHub user and get the token for that user.

• Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new, generate a token and copy it to clipboard
• Set an env variable: export STATS_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN

Check that the token works:

curl -i https://api.github.com/users/whatever?access_token=your_token

You should see a limit of 5000 request per hour.
