This script helps analyze GitHub repositories for a user or organization. It fetches a list of repositories owned by a user or organization and generated a custom report in a number of formats.
In particular, it was designed for showing the size of repositories and the LFS storage they use. Unfortunately the GitHub API doesn't report the LFS usage, so this tool with clone the repos in order to get the LFS size. This is slow, but it is the primary purpose of this tool, since there's no other way to do it.
- Create a virtualenv:
virtualenv <path> - Activate your virtualenv:
source <path>/bin/activate(on Linux/Mac),source <path>/Scripts/activate(in bash on Windows), or<path>\Scripts\activate.bat(in Windows command prompt) - Use
pip install -r requirements.txtin your virtualenv to install required libraries. - Run
python github_report.py. You may need command-line options to specify options. Seepython github-storage-usage.py -hfor option help.
Without authentication you can generate a report for any user's or organization's
public repos. To include private repos you will need to authenticate as a user
who has permission to see them. To do so, log into GitHub and generate a
personal access token that has at least
the repo permission. Pass this token on the command-line to the --token
option, or put it in a .token file (or some other file that can be read with
the --token-file option).
