gh-analyzer 0.1.3

GitHub repository health analyzer — scores repos 0-100 across commit momentum, bus factor, issue resolution, PR latency, and release cadence

gh-analyzer

A command-line tool that scores GitHub repository health across commit momentum, bus factor, issue resolution, PR latency, and release cadence.

Installation

pip install gh-analyzer

Requires Python 3.11+.

Authentication

Set a GitHub Personal Access Token to raise the rate limit from 60 to 5,000 requests/hour:

Mac/Linux:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here

Windows:

set GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here

Without a token the tool is limited to 60 requests/hour and results may be incomplete.

Usage

gh-analyzer OWNER/REPO [options]

Options

Flag	Default	Description
--since DAYS	30	How many days back to analyze
--limit N	100	Maximum number of results to fetch
--format	text	Output format: text or json
--token TOKEN	—	GitHub token (overrides GITHUB_TOKEN)
--no-token	—	Force unauthenticated mode
--validate-token	—	Validate token before running
--verbose	—	Enable debug logging

Examples

gh-analyzer psf/requests
gh-analyzer psf/requests --since 90
gh-analyzer psf/requests --format json
gh-analyzer torvalds/linux --since 30 --verbose

Output

The tool produces a full health report including:

• Commit activity and top contributors
• Issue resolution rate and average resolution time
• Pull request merge rate and average merge time
• Release cadence
• Health score (0–100, grade A–D) weighted across five signals
• Risk flags (ERROR / WARN / OK) with plain-language descriptions
• JSON output via --format json for machine consumption

Scoring Model

Signal	Weight	Description
Commit momentum	30%	Activity trend vs prior period
Bus factor	25%	Contributor concentration via HHI
Issue health	20%	Resolution rate
PR latency	15%	Average time from open to merge
Release cadence	10%	Days since last release

Bus factor uses the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) to measure contributor concentration. HHI closer to 1.0 means one person dominates. HHI closer to 0.0 means contributions are evenly distributed.
