github2pandas 1.1.15

github2pandas supports the aggregation of project activities in a GitHub repository and makes them available in pandas dataframes

Transform GitHub Activities to Pandas Dataframes

General information

This package is being developed by the participating partners (TU Bergakademie Freiberg, OVGU Magdeburg and HU Berlin) as part of the DiP-iT project Website.

The package implements Python functions for

• aggregating and preprocessing GitHub activities (Commits, Actions, Issues, Pull-Requests) and
• generating project progress summaries according to different metrics (ratio of changed lines, ratio of aggregated Levenshtein distances e.g.).

github2pandas stores the collected information in a collection of pandas DataFrames starting from a user defined root folder. The structure beyond that (file names, folder names) is defined as a member variable in the corresponding classes and can be overwritten. The default configuration results in the following file structure.

|-- My_Github_Repository_0               <- Repository name
|   |- Repo.json                         <- Json file containing user and repo name
|   |- Issues
|   |   |- pdIssuesComments.p
|   |   |- pdIssuesEvents.p
|   |   |- pdIssues.p
|   |   |- pdIssuesReactions.p
|   |- PullRequests
|   |   |- pdPullRequestsComments.p
|   |   |- pdPullRequestsCommits.p
|   |   |- pdPullRequestsEvents.p
|   |   |- pdPullRequests.p
|   |   |- pdPullRequestsReactions.p
|   |   |- pdPullRequestsReviews.p
|   |- Users.p
|   |- Versions
|   |   |- pdCommits.p
|   |   |- pdEdits.p
|   |   |- pdBranches.p
|   |   |- pVersions.db
|   |   |- repo                         <- Repository clone
|   |   |   |- ..
|   |- Workflows
|       |- pdWorkflows.p
|-- My_Github_Repository_1
...

The internal structure and relations of the data frames are included in the project's wiki.
