newbie questions

[parmentelat]

I've just created a profile on sourcerer; for now from just github

https://sourcerer.io/parmentelat

I have a few questions:

• I try to refresh/update github repos, there's a message about progress, like Processing 3 out of 34 repos have completed; but it does not seem to reach that many repos, the most I have seen for now is 15; it might be just me being too impatient, but it's been 1h30 already, and there's no progress being shown, so I'm concerned this somehow has gone stuck ?

• maybe more importantly, I'm not sure which list of repos are being considered; over time I did on a couple occasions archive repos that had gone too big, to split them into smaller pieces; so I guess my questions are: where can I see the actual list of repos being considered, and should I expect archived repos to be taken into account ? in my particular case it'd be better if they didn't :)

thanks for the cool tool ;-)

Hey, if you go to https://sourcerer.io/settings#processing you can see what repos are being processed and their state!

Hi @parmentelat

It is better to see the status of processing in Settings->Processing since the banner might be wrong. Now your profile shows 18 repositories. 3 repositories are big and weren't processed, 6 repositories don't contain commits with your emails. Looks like other 7 repositories have commits with languages that sourcerer doesn't process yet. One such case is .ipynb files. But we are working to add extraction of python from such files. Will be added in a couple of days. Regarding which repositories should be shown, in your profile you can edit repositories table and hide some of the repositories.

hey there

thanks for your answer

I had not spotted the 'settings' thing at first, and it took me a while to figure once you told me it was there...

I still could not figure how to change the scope of what gets scanned; how do I turn off repos ?

also, a substantial part of my work goes into repos owned by github organizations, like https://github.com/fit-r2lab and https://github.com/flotpython, but it looks like none of these are scanned; and I could not find how to add these.

this all is mostly out of curiosity, no big deal :)

@parmentelat at the moment we don't support the scope of what gets scanned in the site. You can use the app to scan additional repositories.

for the repos that are private that one would use the app for, do you need to run the sourcerer app every so often in order to get the new commits? Or is there a process already running or something that will check once the config file is created, or something else?

Hi @KeithETruesdell ,

There is no process for auto-update of private repos just yet. If you are on Unix-like system, you could schedule sourcerer via a cronjob or the like.
