Question 1

How do I set up GitHub Contributor Analytics for my own project?

Accepted Answer

Clone the repo, install dependencies with Bun, configure environment variables including GITHUB_TOKEN and OPENROUTER_API_KEY, set up repositories in config/pipeline.config.ts, and run pipeline commands like 'bun run pipeline ingest --days 90' to start tracking, as detailed in the Quick Start section.

Question 2

What are the costs associated with the AI summaries?

Accepted Answer

Costs depend on OpenRouter API usage; the README suggests using cheaper models like gpt-4o-mini locally, but generating lifetime summaries for all contributors can be expensive due to numerous AI calls, so budget accordingly.

Question 3

GitHub Contributor Analytics vs. using GitHub's native insights or other tools?

Accepted Answer

This tool adds gamification, AI-powered summaries, and a static API, whereas GitHub's insights are basic and lack progression systems; it's better for communities wanting engagement features but requires more setup and has AI dependencies.

Question 4

Can I customize the scoring algorithm for contributions?

Accepted Answer

Customization likely requires modifying the pipeline code in src/lib/pipelines/, as the README doesn't provide easy configuration options for adjusting scoring weights or logic beyond the basic setup.

Question 5

How do I troubleshoot database migration errors?

Accepted Answer

The README recommends resetting the local database by deleting data/db.sqlite, syncing from production with 'bun run data:sync', and reapplying migrations; common issues include schema mismatches that require clean resets.

Question 6

Is wallet linking required for the leaderboard to work?

Accepted Answer

No, wallet linking is an optional feature; the leaderboard functions perfectly without it, and you can omit the OAuth secrets (NEXT_PUBLIC_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID) in your environment variables, as noted in the Wallet Linking section.
