Visualize GitHub Repository Workflow Activities

gitflow-visualizer

The gitflow-visualizer is a Python-based tool designed to visually analyze and track the workflow of a GitHub repository. It displays branch activities (e.g., branch creation, deletion, pull request merges) and other important events, allowing teams to easily understand the history of the repository's development process. For more information, see GitHub API - List repository activities.

Features

• Visualize GitHub repository activities such as:
  • Branch creation
  • Branch deletion
  • Pushes and force-pushes
  • Pull request merges
• Different colors for each user's activities
• Filter activities by date range
• Highlight active branches
• Abstract branch name like release, hotfix, and feature for better visualization.

Installation

You can install the latest stable version of gitflow-visualizer from PyPI:

pip install gitflow-visualizer

Or, if you prefer to install the latest development version from the GitHub repository, use:

git clone https://github.com/Verssae/gitflow-visualizer.git
cd gitflow-visualizer
pip install .

GitHub Token

You can pass a GitHub API token directly using the --token option for increased rate limits or to access private repositories.

Alternatively, you can set the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, and the tool will use it automatically if --token is not provided.

Usage

Once installed, you can use the tool to visualize a GitHub repository's workflow. Below are some example commands:

gitflow-visualizer https://github.com/SoftClassTeam4/Invaders

gitflow-visualizer https://github.com/SoftClassTeam4/Invaders --start_date 2023-10-17 --end_date 2023-10-19

usage: gitflow-visualizer [-h] [--core_branches [CORE_BRANCHES ...]] [--start_date START_DATE] [--end_date END_DATE] [--token TOKEN] url

  --core_branches [CORE_BRANCHES ...]
                        List of core branch names. Other branch names would be abstracted (release->R, hotfix->H, feature->F)
  --start_date START_DATE
                        Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format
