Counting and analyzing commits in Github organization (not repo)


I'd like to count the commits of 2012 in http://github.com/plone and http://github.com/collective

Are there any tools to do this - provide statistics for Github organizations?

Do I need to write my own script to scrape the repositories, check out them individually and count commits?


Solution

  • Here is how I'd do it:

    That only requires 2 API calls, so you avoid being rate limited; paging through all the commits with the API would require too many requests to count all the repository commits, checking out a bare repository copy would be faster anyway.
