hacktoberfest-leaderboard

This is the leaderboard application for the Hacktoberfest summit. The application is kept simple so you can improve it with your own pull requests to help you contribute for Hacktoberfest.

The application is hosted on Heroku. Visit it here

Happy coding!

Configuring the app

Configuration is exclusively done by setting environment variables:

• PORT : The port to bind HTTP to. Default to 8080
• GH_TOKEN : The token to authenticated to github. By default, no token is used, so API calls are not authenticated.
• EVENT_DATE : The date to restrict contribution search to. It must follows the github search date format (more details here). Default value is >=2005 which basically fetch everything without any restriction
• PARTICIPANTS_FILE : The URI or file path to the file containing the participants' github usernames. See this file for an example of how to format that file
• [Deprecated] OBJECTIVE : Number of pull requests to make in order to complete the challenge. Default value is 4

If the app is running behind a proxy, you'll need to set both environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY before running it
