gh-profiler 0.2.2

Examine a GitHub user's profile, to help quickly decide how much to invest in their contributions.

gh-profiler

Many of us have received waves of open source contributions where many of the new "contributions" aren't worth engaging with. gh-profiler lets you quickly see a snapshot of the submitter's profile, and recent PR activity.

This meant to give you some quick context about how much to invest in reviewing the PR. It's not meant to give an immediate signal to close the PR or issue.

Running as a tool

If you have uv installed, you can run this as a tool against any GitHub user:

$ uvx gh-profiler ehmatthes

GitHub user: ehmatthes
  🟢 Account age: 5058 days

      email: [e-mail]
      bio:

  🟢 ehmatthes has opened fewer than 10 PRs in the last 21 days.

If you're working in your local project directory, you can simply provide a PR or issue number. The tool will look up the PR or issue, identify the user who opened it, and give a report on that user:

$ uvx gh-profiler 8

GitHub user: ehmatthes
  🟢 Account age: 5058 days
  ...
