Downloading private repository information? #29

Closed johnhayesio closed 3 years ago

johnhayesio commented 3 years ago

I have looked to see how to do this, but either haven't found out how or it doesn't exist. My stats are only showing for public repos it seems within global-activity. Is there a way to get private repos also?

I figured it out. The download link must be user/repos and not users//repos and it can only be done with an access token that has full repo authorization.

Now a new problem. Although it will download all repos, the total count shown is incorrect. For instance, if you look at my Github, I have 1,869 commits in the last year. Git-stats shows that I have made 2,374 in the last year. I also have Git Streaks for mac installed and it shows the same. This is taking into account my private repos also.

The GitHub token should have access to the private repositories, and then the private repositories will be downloaded.

I am not sure, but maybe Git Stats counts the merge commits too...
