GitHub Champion

Overview

GitHub Champion analyzes your organization's GitHub activity to identify top contributors. It ranks developers based on closed issues, PR reviews, and opened pull requests, celebrating impactful work that often goes unnoticed. The actor calculates scores per contributor and outputs top-three rankings for your entire organization and individual repositories.

Key Features

• Rank contributors using weighted metrics:
• Closed issues: 1 point each
• PR reviews: 0.75 points each
• Created pull requests: 0.5 points each
• Generate two types of reports:
• Top 3 contributors per repository and organization-wide
• Detailed metrics per contributor (additions, deletions, commits, PRs, reviews, closed issues)
• Exclude noisy metrics like additions/deletions from scoring (these appear only in detailed breakdowns)
• Integrate with workflows using Apify schedules and webhooks
• Support for private repos with GitHub API token authentication

How to Use

1. Authentication: For private repositories, create a GitHub API token with full repo permissions at https://github.com/settings/tokens/new. Paste it into the githubApiToken input field. If you encounter Not Found errors, verify your token has the correct permissions.

2. Data requirements:

3. Issues must be assigned to contributors to count toward their score

4. GitHub releases are excluded from calculations by default

5. Integration: Connect the actor to your sprint cycles using the provided integration helper. Schedule regular runs with Apify schedules and receive results automatically via webhooks.

Input/Output

Input: Requires your organization name and an optional GitHub API token for private repositories.

Output: Two datasets in the Apify key-value store:

1. Top contributors (top-contributors.json in top-threes store):

[
  {
    "Organization All-stars": [
      { "name": "user1", "total": 29.5, "pullReviews": 25, "issuesClosed": 3, "pullsCreated": 3 }
    ]
  }
]

1. Detailed metrics (detailed-repo-metrics store):

[
  { "id": "user1", "additions": 123, "deletions": 45, "commits": 8, "pullsCreated": 3, "pullReviews": 25, "issuesClosed": 3 }
]

The actor filters out contributors with zero activity across all measured metrics.
