wads

A tool to calculate weekly active developers based on Github activity.

This is ALPHA software, use at your own risk.

Build

$ go get github.com/diwakergupta/wads

If that doesn't work, check out the repo and build locally go build

Usage

• Find the TOML from EC's crypto-ecosystem repo that you want to process (e.g. this one for Stacks)
• Convert the TOML to JSON -- mostly because Go stdlib has built in support for JSON but not TOML. I used this online convertor.
• Obtain a Github API token
• Run wads --token <token> --file <file.json> and wait

Known limitations

This is a very hacky proof-of-concept. Lots of limitations and room for improvement:

• No tests
• Basic error handling. Does a naive, recursive retry if repo stats aren't yet available
• Doesn't discern commits from bots
• Doesn't handle "sub systems", therefore almost certainly undercounts
• Relies on Github repo stats being fresh & accurate. Directly obtaining data from a git clone will likely be more accurate
