It's a git addicted, online github summaries

Looks cool. How about letting us enter a user and show all the repositories they have committed to along with how much they've committed.

We are working on it! ;) Edit: I should probably add an issue, it is not currently a priority and my memory fails sometimes :P

I love the simplicity.

Any plans to include weighted commits or lines changed? At the moment it appears you only count the number of commits, which means 10 commits changing one line at a time is counted as a greater contribution than a single commit doing the same operations.

Yeah: https://github.com/gildo/octodigest/issues/8

What does this do that Github's "stats and graphs" tab doesn't?

with github you can not actually see the real contributions to a repository

Can you elaborate a bit?

If I go here:

http://it.isagit.com/rails/rails

It's the exact same list as here:

https://github.com/rails/rails/contributors

I guess I'm not clear on what additional information is being presented.

Edit: Ah, okay, I see, you're listing number of commits per user, as well. Good data, but what's the use case for it?

with github you cannot see the number of commits and contributors by tag look here: http://it.isagit.com/rails/rails/v3.2.0.rc1

@cheald I would like some advice: do you think would be fun to implement something like achievements to unlock etc.?

Like: Top contributor of the month et simila

That is basically what coderwall.com does

oh shit... I did not know

Nice work! It's a lot easier on the eyes than http://github-high-scores.heroku.com 8-)

Thank you, but an "old style" style gives always a touch of class to the things (especially on our geeky little things)

Would be ubercool with support for private repos. Maybe some oauth or apikey would work without breaking the simplicity.

yeah! If you like put an issue here: https://github.com/gildo/octodigest/issues

I don't see the point of this site. All the info is available in stats

Not all information are avaiable on GitHub UI, please read all the comments in the discussion; if you're still not convinced you could suggest something you would like to see on the site. This is the purpose for which I submit the discussion.

Not convinced with the idea, it isn't solving a problem, and it's more on the extra-features side of github rather than being a site on its own.

This seems to ignore every branch but one.

try user/repo/branch

example: http://it.isagit.com/rails/rails/compressor
