Contribution Checker

Check for all commits matching a certain email address pattern in a local or remote Git repository. Useful for creating statistics about contributions by a certain organisation in selected projects.

Requirements

• python >= 3.9
• poetry >= 1.1.0

Usage

We recommend to run this tool via poetry that takes care of installing the correct dependencies in a clean encironment.

You can find all supported flags by running poetry run contribution-checker --help.

Basic examples are:

# Check a remote repository for DB authors
poetry run contribution-checker -e ".*@deutschebahn.com" -r https://github.com/dbsystel/playground
# Check a remote repository for DB authors and plot the results
poetry run contribution-checker -e ".*@deutschebahn.com" -r https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-tool --plot
# Check a local repository for DB authors
poetry run contribution-checker -e ".*@deutschebahn.com" -d ../Git/dbsystel-playground

The output is JSON and could look like the following:
