GitStats

lifecycle CRAN status CRAN downloads R-CMD-check Codecov test coverage

With GitStats you can pull git data in a uniform way from GitHub and GitLab. For the time-being you can get data on:

You can also prepare basic statistics with get_*_stats() functions for commits and issues.

Installation

From CRAN:

install.packages("GitStats")

From GitHub:

devtools::install_github("r-world-devs/GitStats")

Examples:

Setup your GitStats:

library(GitStats)

git_stats <- create_gitstats() |>
  set_gitlab_host(
    repos = "mbtests/gitstatstesting"
  ) |>
  set_github_host(
    orgs = "r-world-devs",
    repos = "openpharma/DataFakeR"
  )

Optionally, you can run GitStats functions in parallel (with mirai package underneath):

set_parallel()

Get commits:

commits <- git_stats |>
  get_commits(
    since = "2022-01-01"
  )
