Interesting ... we use Github archive for historic data. You can also see visualizations from the same dataset here on OSS Insight
This shows commits starting in March 2018, but not back to May 2017. But this is also different than what we're showing (December 2018)!
So there are two separate issues:
There's definitely a bug on our end, because our first commit should be the same as OSS Insight / Github archive. I made a change to the underlying model that powers this metric sometime last week, and it must have broke something. Will sort this out!
There are a few possible explanations for why your first commit is different than the Github archive record:
rokti/rotki
. Did development begin on some other Github owner or on a repo that's since been deprecated?main
or master
and got renamed to developer
in 2018.We have a way of doing backfills to cover gaps in Github archive data, but would like to use that as a last resort since I'm guessing you're not the only one affected by this issue...
We just ran the following:
gh api -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" /repos/rotki/rotki
and got back:
"created_at": "2018-03-05T11:26:09Z"
Actions:
created_at
(and updated_at
) fields in ossd.repositories
@ravenac95 created_at
in the frontend and update copy for first_commit
to indicate is the first public commit merged to main
Question: How do you calculate first commit?
rotki's first commit is: https://github.com/rotki/rotki/commit/9c949a200ac34f2190c3bef2d6cdfe095efcb632
That's 9th of May 2017.
According to OSS observer first commit is 15-12-2018. Retrieved from: https://www.opensource.observer/project/rotki
