Bright

Measure how bright your github repo shines, and learn about interesting work that the people who were (or could have been) inspired by your repo have done

What is Bright?

It searches through all of the people who starred a particular repo, then looks at how many stars each of their repos have. It sums the total number of stars from each user to compute a "Brightness" score for a repo. It also creates a tree for visualizing what repos that your stargazers have made and which of those repos have a lot of stars.

The intuition behind this is that a user who has a cumulative 1000 github stars is likely more experienced and knowledgable than a user with 0 github stars. Repositories which have thousands of stars from fake bot accounts (whose accounts would have 0 cumulative stars) would have a brightness score of zero, but a repository which seems unimportant but had a highly experienced developer star it would have a high brightness score.

Example

Install Instructions

1. Clone the repo
2. type pip install -r requirements.txtor pip3 install -r requirments.txt as needed.
3. run the script as follows: python3 github_bright.py <github_username> <github_password> <repo_name> <cut_off_number>

Replace each bracketed expression with the corresponding string, the cut_off_number is optional.

Sample: python3 github_bright.py ghub_user ghub_pass Hellisotherpeople/Python-Cooperative-Synapse-NeuroEvolution 0

There is a tunable option for only visualizing other peoples repos who has more than cut_off_number number of stars. This defaults to 1
