Show My PR's

Motivation 😰

I wanted to create an Open Source section on my website to showcase some of the contributions that I have done over the years. Finding the PR's, sorting them, grouping them was a big pain. I couldnt't find any service that did this already.

Features 💅🏻💥

1. Show the actual status of each pull request: open / closed / merged
2. All your Pull Requests grouped by repositories: /user/<username>
3. Add ?response_type=json to consume the json response directly
4. Add ?response_type=iframe to embed the response in an iframe

Implementation notes 🙇🏻

1. Fetch all the pull requests from the github search/issues endpoint

   https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=type:pr+author:gaearon+is:public

2. For each pull request, fetch the repository data (stars/forks)

   https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo

   Note: The repository data is cached in-memory and is reused between subsequent calls.

3. The search endpoint returns status as closed even for pull requests that have been merged. So, for each closed pull request, the merge status is fetched using the below endpoint.

   https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/pulls/:number/merge

4. These pull requests are then grouped based on the repository and then sent to the client.

NOTE: The final response is cached on the server per user in a file ./.cache/<username>. For now, this will be manually purged by me every 24 hours automatically refreshed every 30 minutes using a cron job running via this bash script. Eventually, it should go into some cache like Redis which has its own TTL implementation.

Contributing 👯

• Make sure you have installed Go and setup your workspace
• Get the latest code: go get github.com/karanjthakkar/showmyprs.com
• Start the server: go build && ./showmyprs.com (This requires the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable. Heres how you can get yours)

If you need help figuring out how to contribute (since its written in Go), hit me up on Twitter or Email. I would love to help you get set up ☺️

Deploying 🚀

• Pre-requisite: npm install
• grunt build deploy: This builds the binary for my Ubuntu linux instance on Amazon EC2 and uploads it along with the web assets via scp.
