stargazers

stargazers

illuminate your GitHub community by delving into your repo's stars

Synopsis

Improoved version of the great spencerkimball/stargazers repo

GitHub allows visitors to star a repo to bookmark it for later perusal. Stars represent a casual interest in a repo, and when enough of them accumulate, it's natural to wonder what's driving interest. Stargazers attempts to get a handle on who these users are by finding out what else they've starred, which other repositories they've contributed to, and who's following them on GitHub.

Features

1. List all stargazers
2. Fetch user info for each stargazer
3. For each stargazer, get list of starred repos & subscriptions
4. For each stargazer subscription, query the repo statistics to get additions / deletions & commit counts for that stargazer (use --advanced=true flag)
5. Run analyses on stargazer data
6. Export as Google Sheet report (New Comparing to original repo)

Basic starting point

stargazers :owner/:repo --token=:access_token

To export to google drive you need to have token.json file in the root folder.

To obtain it perform the following steps

1. Create credentials using wizzard referenced in this guide https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/go
2. Download generated OAuth2 credentials as client_secret.json file
3. Run the app. You will be asked to open link in browser and authorize the app
4. Once authorized you will be able to download token.json file. This is one time operation.
5. Next time it will not ask you to follow the link and grant authorization If token.json and client_secret.json files are not present the app assumes no google upload is requested

Examples

Download only stargazers + profile info. Save as CSV files

  stargazers --repo=cockroachdb/cockroach --token=f87456b1112dadb2d831a5792bf2ca9a6afca7bc

Download only stargazers + profile info. Save as CSV files and export to Google Sheets
