Ghdstats

Ghdstats is a simple, but very fast, tool to fetch download counts from GitHub releases. You just give it a user, or a user and repository, and it fetches all the necessary details for you.

Installation

The cli command can be downloaded by running the following command (using Go 1.16 or above):

$ go install github.com/Jacalz/ghdstats@latest

Usage

The general usage of the program works like this:

$ ghdstats [user] [repository, optional]

As an example, you can get all the data for jacalz/rymdport:

$ ghdstats jacalz rymdport

The same command can also be written as this:

$ ghdstats jacalz/rymdport

The tool can also fetch all downloads for a given user or organization:

$ ghdstats jacalz

Performance

The goal here is to be as fast as possible but still keeping very readable code. All repositories for a user are downloaded and processed concurrently for better performance on multicore systems.

Inspiration and resoning

A lot of the inspiration for this came from https://github.com/mmilidoni/github-downloads-count. The idea was to create a faster tool without any need for Python. The plan is to have binaries for as many 64-bit platforms as possible.
