grabGitCommits

The script grabs public Github commits and saves to your Mongodb

FAQ

There are two scripts, one is for triggering the script using HTTP endpoint, the other is to run the script through a command-line interface

Requirements

1. MongoDB - host address & port
2. Python 3
3. Repository that you want

How To

A. Using the HTTP endpoint

1. Launch the terminal from the folder and enter python http_endpoint.py

2. Open browser and at the tab, enter: host:port/<repository_owner>/<repository_file>/<mongodb_host>/<mongodb_port> be sure to replace the value < > as shown in the example below:

3. Example: your server is hosted at 192.168.0.1 and the port used is 42069 where your github repository is https://github.com/flutter/flutter therefore it should be 192.168.0.1:42069/flutter/flutter/localhost/5000

• host = 192.168.0.1
• port = 42069
• repository_owner = flutter
• repository_file = flutter
• mongodb_host = localhost
• mongodb_port = 5000

4. Let it run
5. Your MongoDB is now updated :D

B. Using your CLI

1. Launch the terminal from the folder and enter python grab_commits.py <repository_owner> <repository_name> <mongodb_host> <mongodb_port
2. Example: your server is hosted at 192.168.0.1 and the port is 69420 where your github repository is https://github.com/microsoft/vscode therefore it should be python grab_commits.py microsoft vcode localhost 5000 as:

• repository_owner = microsoft
• repository_file = vscode
• mongodb_host = localhost
• mongodb_port = 5000

3. If you used python grab_commits.py then just do enter the input asked
4. Let it run
5. Your MongoDB is now updated :D
