Inactive forks #34

Open karacolada opened 1 year ago

karacolada commented 1 year ago

Most of the forks for small repos I have found are dubbed inactive, i.e. they haven't had any updates. Is there a way to check this when crawling?

There's no direct field for this, but should be able to infer info from created_at and pushed_at info.

Also, here's some insight into the behaviour of pushed_at and updated_at: StackOverflow.
