github-collaboration-network

Using GitHub's API to find social connections in pull requests and issues comments. Social network connections are between the author of the pull request/issue and the author of the comments.

Example of Social Network

Author: Person_1

Comment Authors: Person_2, Person_3, Person_4

Social Connections: ((Person_1, Person_2), (Person_1, Person_3), (Person_1, Person_4))

Running the Code in the Terminal

1 - Clone the repository.

git clone git@github.com:tmickleydoyle/github-collaboration-network.git

or

git clone https://github.com/tmickleydoyle/github-collaboration-network.git

2 - Move into the repository directory.

cd github-collaboration-network

The following information is needed to run the scripts and can be located on the file_manager.py file:

GITHUB_USERNAME = os.environ['GITHUB_USERNAME']
GITHUB_TOKEN = os.environ['GITHUB_TOKEN']
ORGANIZATION = os.environ['GITHUB_ORGANIZATION']

GITHUB_USERNAME - GitHub profile name/login.

GITHUB_TOKEN - Token linked to an individual account. Step for creating a token.

ORGANIZATION - The name of the organization. This only works for organizations the user has is an active member.

I have included the above information in my bash_profile.

I am adding a Bernoulli Mixture Model to find the most likely people to include in a social group.

TODO:

• Build a mapping from the model output to GitHub logins.
• Sort output to include top n users.
