Store long-term data from github insights

Github Insights

Github insights only allows free users to see data from the last couple of days. This script stores the data over a longer period to a local sqlite database

Installation

Install the packages into a local Pipenv environment with:

pipenv install

You can then run pipenv shell to launch a shell with the correct python libraries installed.

Configuration

The script reads its configuration from environment variables. This can either be set in the shell with export, or written to a .env file:

GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=<generate an access token that has push access to the repo>
GITHUB_REPO=<for example 'codders/github-insights', or whatever your target repo is>

Usage

From your pipenv shell, simply run:

python repo_data.py

to fetch the latest data and save it to disk
