Github list and stats extractor (both Github.com and Github Enterprise)

Simple CLI node app to extract details about github organization and repositories

Packages: Node JS CLI app using commander, chalk, and github-base

Installation

1. git clone https://github.com/aarlaud-snyk/github-stats
2. npm install

Prerequisites

• Node 8 (ES6 support for Promises)
• Be member of the organization for private repositories
• full repo scope granted to personal access token (how to: https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line or click on this https://github.com/settings/tokens if logged in).
• Github credentials
• If using Github Enterprise, you'll need your api endpoint. Usually looks like the base url you know appended with /api/v3, i.e https://my-ghe-instance.mycompany.com/api/v3.

Usage

• node index.js repoList <Org name> -t <GitHubToken>
• node index.js repoContributorCount <Org name> <Repo Name> -t <GitHubToken>
• node index.js orgContributorCount <Org name> -t <GitHubToken>

Example: node index.js orgContributorCount snyk -t <my_github_token>

Useful flags

• Use -p or --private to restrict to private repos only (repoList and orgContributorCount only)
• use --apiurl to set the url of your Github Enterprise instance API Endpoint (i.e --apiurl=https://my-ghe-instance.company.com/api/v3)
• if using proxy, exporting the http_proxy settings should do the trick. Google search the details of how to set that up, pretty straightforward.

You might need multiple runs to get the results.Github does not return results immediately. So it is very likely not to return any results at first. Try again after a short moment. If you have a lot of repos in the organization, you might need to run it multiple times until the total number is extracted (details about Github's word about caching)

Commands

• repoList: List all repositories under an organization. Can filter on private repos only (--private).
• repoContributorCount: List the number of active contributors for a specific repositories
• orgContributorCount: List the number of active contributors for an entire organization.. Can filter on private repos only (--private).

An active contributor to a repo is someone who has committed code at least once in the last 90 days.

1. username and password attempts, mainly because I have 2FA enabled so need a token. Do yourself a favor, please enable 2FA regardless
