Description

Pull and aggregate commit statistics from Github

Objectives

Learning Objectives

After completing this assignment, you should…

• Be able to make HTTP requests from Ruby
• Be able to iterate through the nested JSON responses that most APIs will return

  Performance Objectives

After completing this assignment, you be able to effectively use

• HTTParty (or similar) for making requests
• Parsed JSON responses

  Details

  Deliverables

• A script github-stats.rb

  Requirements

Running ruby github-stats.rb should:

• Prompt the user for an auth token (could be passed in the environment, via ARGV, or using gets)
• Prompt the user for a github organization to report on
• Produce a table of contributions

  Normal Mode

Get the list of all members in that organization, and then aggregate the addition, deletion and change counts (as returned from the contributors endpoint) for all public repositories for each user (note: not just contributions to repos for the organization).

The script should produce a table something like

              Additions     Deletions     Changes
User 1            13534          2954        6249
User 2             6940           913        1603
...

(or may produce a CSV output).

Hard Mode

• Save data locally so that repeated runs of the script don't need to fetch all the stats each time
• Allow the user to specify a time frame and only report on commits in that time frame

:+1: Looks good. Do you ever use the organization name the user enters? Hard coding it is fine, I was just curious because it will do this organization no matter what you put in. Out of additional curiosity I ran it by hard coding another org I belong to and it worked, though it gave some interesting results that I don't believe. I'm not sure why they showed up like that though.

Unfortunately, I didn’t but only because of the time factor. I had written the urls while developing and forgot to go back and correct them.

Ah, no worries. I just wanted to check that you didn't intend to do something else.

The second screenshot didn’t have any formatting. Hmm.

It's an issue with the markdown format I think, when you reply like that. I didn't even know you could attach images to issues until today, but markdown can be finicky with things. The link still works.
