repo-contrib-graph

Summary

As a developer, when I look around on GitHub, I can quickly see how active another user is by looking at their contribution graph.

However, it sometimes may just as important, if not more important to see how active a repository is. I want a quick, at-a-glance view of how often a repository is being contributed to. If I'm going to use a project as a dependency, I want to know that there's life in the community.

Enter repo-contrib-graph.

What does it do, you might ask?

Blammo:

It generates an ASCII contribution graph for an entire repository. Now you can see how active a repo is with just a few simple keystrokes!

Installation & Usage

First, you might want to make sure you have curl and jq installed.

Then clone this repository!

git clone https://github.com/KyleMacey/repo-contrib-graph.git; cd KyleMacey/repo-contrib-graph

Then simply pass in a repository with the -r flag.

./repo-contrib-graph -r rails/rails

Rather copy an entire URL?

./repo-contrib-graph -r https://github.com/rails/rails

Have a GitHub access token to alleviate the stress of API rate limits? Then -t is for you.

./repo-contrib-graph -r rails/rails -t 123456789123456789

For more help, simply give it a -h

./repo-contrib-graph -h
