Summarize Github activity across all repositories of users or organizations

Source: R/github_activity.R
summarize_github_activity.Rd

Counts issues closed, pull requests opened, pull requests merged, and new repositories created since a given date, across every repository owned by the users and/or organizations in owners. Uses the Github search API, so private repositories are included whenever your Github token can see them.

Usage

summarize_github_activity(
  owners,
  since,
  until = Sys.Date(),
  author = NULL,
  include_forks = TRUE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

owners

Github users and/or organizations whose repositories should be summarized, e.g. c("cbedwards-dfw", "FRAMverse"). Character vector. Whether each owner is a user or an organization is detected automatically.

since

Start of the reporting window (inclusive). Date, or character in "YYYY-MM-DD" form.

until

End of the reporting window (inclusive). Date, or character in "YYYY-MM-DD" form. Optional, Defaults to today.

author

Optional Github username. If provided, pull request counts are restricted to pull requests authored by this person. Use "@me" for the account your Github token belongs to. Issue counts are not affected, since Github search cannot filter by who closed an issue. Character atomic, defaults to NULL (all authors).

include_forks

Count newly created forks as new repositories? Logical, defaults to TRUE.

verbose

Print a summary to the console? Logical, defaults to TRUE.

Value

A list with

  • $totals: one row per owner (plus a "TOTAL" row) with columns $issues_closed, $prs_opened, $prs_merged, and $repos_created.

  • $by_repo: the same issue and pull request counts for each repository with any activity in the window.

  • $items: one row per issue or pull request counted, with links (see get_github_activity()). Issues closed as "not planned" can be dropped with dplyr::filter(items, state_reason != "not_planned").

  • $new_repos: repositories created in the window (see get_new_repos()).

  • $since, $until: the reporting window.
