This is a small jQuery plugin I built with JavaScript, jQuery, Morris.js, Moment.js and GitHub's Developer API. It uses GitHub's API to update a Morris.js line chart with a specified repo's commits over the last 7 days. GitHub's individual repo line charts only show a static week (Sunday to Saturday), but gitGraph displays data based on the current day of the week.
Status: Working.
jQuery, Raphael.js, Morris.js, Moment.js
First choose the user for which you would like to see repo activity. Then choose a repo of that user to display their recent activity. You will pass in the username and repo as options of the plugin. You must also specify a height for your html element. The below example has inline style for demonstration purposes.
Update: You can now give your div any id you wish as long as you pass it in as an option, { html: "someID" }
Include dependencies and GitGraph.js
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="raphael.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="morris.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="moment.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="gitGraph.js"></script>Write your markup including the div's ID as "someID"
<div id="someID" style="height: 300px; width:660px;"></div>Initialize the plugin with the following parameters: GitHub username, and a repository from that user
$('#someID').gitGraph({
html: "someID", // you can now pass in any div ID as an option
user: "github", // any GitHub username
repo: "github-services" // any public repository of the specified username's account
});Also note this from GitHub's API v3 Documentation: "Rate Limiting: We [GitHub] limit requests to 60 per hour for unauthenticated requests. For requests using Basic Authentication or OAuth, we limit requests to 5,000 per hour."
Demo site, more options, larger data sets, better error handling, better test-driven development. You can see the plugin in action here at SanderBlue.com in the work section.
