HubMeme

HubMeme is a whimsical command-line tool to figure out how big a meme a user is on GitHub. Meme-ness is calculated by summing over all repositories a user has contributed to the product of their percentage contribution and the number of stars the repository has.

Installation

You'll need Ruby.

$ gem install hubmeme

Running it

You'll need a GitHub access token.

$ GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=something hubmeme username

How it works

  1. Tries to figure out all the repositories you've contributed to. GitHub doesn't make this directly accessible via the API as far as I can tell, so it checks your own repos; your organizations' repos; repos you've starred; repos you've made pull requests to; etc.
  2. Calculates your percentage contribution on each repo. The is using the “contributors” endpoint on the GitHub API; I'm not even sure exactly what the “contributions” number means, and it doesn't seem terribly accurate, but the stakes are pretty low here.
  3. Sums up the product of your contribution to each repo and the number of stars that repo has.
  4. Prints all that on the screen.

Here's what it prints out for me (all my friends are more meme):

         brewster/elastictastic   80%      73         59
