github-leaderboard v0.4.0
Github Leaderboard
Grabs Github contribution statistics for bunch of projects and presents it in a few nice leaderboards.
Works both with Github.com and GitHub Enterprise.
Getting Started
To get you started you can simply clone the repository and install the dependencies.
Prerequisites
You must have node.js and its package manager (npm) installed. You can get them from http://nodejs.org/.
Install Dependencies
You can simply do:
npm installConfigure the Application
Add all the projects to the app/config.js file.
Get the Github OAUTH_TOKEN. This is how you can do it.
The only required permission is repo (or public_repo if you need statistics only for public repositories)
Access to the Github API through proxy (recommended)
In this case Github OAUTH_TOKEN will be added by proxy and won't be available in the browser. Proxy is started automatically when you run the application.
In the app/config.js leave Github AUTH_TOKEN empty and use http://localhost:8889 as api_uri.
In the bin/github-proxy.config.js specify your Github AUTH_TOKEN.
Direct access to the Github API
This approach in unsecure as Github AUTH_TOKEN is available in the browser. Use it only on the local machine!
In the app/config.js specify Github AUTH_TOKEN and use https://api.github.com as api_uri.
Run the Application
We have preconfigured the project with a simple development web server. The simplest way to start this server is:
npm startNow browse to the app at http://localhost:8888.
