This program was created to help analyze basic metrics of multiple git repositories.
usage: get_repos.sh [input_repo_list] [output_report_file]
Default values:
input_repo_list=list.csvoutput_report_file=scores.csv
Detailed Explanation:
First, run the get_repos.sh file.
The default parameters of this program specifies that the repositories are
loaded from list.csv (can be overridden by an argument) which must be
formatted as follows:
id,url
Where ID is, in my use case, student ID.
It then clones the repo if not already (won't pull, because I'm supposed to run this before the deadlines) and produces basic information into a CSV file with the following columns:
id,commits,branches,merges,tags,message_q
Where the last one, message quality, is left open for you to write because it is qualitative.
The CSV file name, if not supplied, is scores.csv.
Use the file qualitative_evaluator.sh which will also clones the repo if not
already (I know it's weird behavior but please excuse my ba/sh skills).
The commits of each repo are displayed one by one. For now you have to use a separate program (Excel or Vim or something) to edit the score CSV file as this program does not offer any functionality to help you with this.
Because I want to quickly determine if a student's repo is worth grading. Most repos are fine but then you get some with extra effort like lots of branching and merging actions, or some that aren't worth grading like those with 1-2 commits over 3 weeks.
grapetool obtains only metadata information using GitHub mechanisms without
cloning, which saves bandwidth. However, lemurean does not require a GitHub
dev key, pulls the whole repos, and scans everything (I want to know).
Cloning also serves as evidence of student homework. In short, grapetool was
desinged for analytical purposes but lemurean is designed more specifically
for education.
