devstats

This repository holds the devstats package. devstats is a Python command line tool that uses the GitHub GraphQL API to generate developer statistics and a developer statistics report for a specified project.

OAuth key for accessing GitHub

Per the GitHub GraphQL API docs, you need a personal access token with public_repo permission to access the GraphQL API.

This code expects the personal access token to be in the environment variable GRAPH_API_KEY.

You can create a personal access token on GitHub. Save the token in a trusted location.

Finally, add the token to your environment using:

export GRAPH_API_KEY=<yourkey>

Query command

The query command can be used to collect data for other projects like so: devstats query <repo_owner> <repo_name> where repo_owner and repo_name are the names of the org and repo on GitHub, respectively.

To download the latest data for pandas use the following command:

devstats query pandas-dev pandas

The command will collect information from GitHub and generate two output files in the same directory where you ran it as follows:

packagename_issues.json: this file contains information about issues for the repository of interest. packagename_PRs.json: this file contains information associated with pull requests for the repository of interest.

Development instructions

If you wish to contribute to devstats:

1. Fork and clone the repository
2. Create a new branch with your proposed feature or change to the package repository

Code Style / Pre-commit

We use pre-commit to ensure the code style is consistent. To install pre-commit locally:

1. First install pre-commit: pip install pre-commit
2. Install all of the pre-commit hooks by running pre-commit install

Once you have pre-commit installed, the code stylers and linters defined in the pre-commit-config.yaml will run each time you commit modified changes to git locally.

Precommit.ci Bot

We use the pre-commit CI bot to run linting tests and to auto fix pull requests. How it works:

• Pre-commit.ci will run the CI checks via a CI run in the PR.
• After the PR is approved but before it's merged, a maintainer can run the bot to apply linting fixes via a commit to the PR. To run the bot write:

pre-commit.ci autofix in a comment in the PR. This will trigger another CI run to double check that the linting / code style fixes are as expected. Then you can merge!

NOTE: the pre-commit CI bot CI action will allow you to see what checks pass. It will also remind you of the command to autofix the code in the pr.
