= Github Metadata {}[http://travis-ci.org/colszowka/github_metadata]

The Github repository API does not include all the information available on the web view of a repo. It also has some trouble reporting correctly the availability of a wiki and issues.

The github_metadata gem is here to solve this. Currently it gives you, for any github repo:

• The availability and (if present) the count of wiki pages
• The availability and (if present) the count of issues
• The count of pull requests
• The list of contributors, with username and real name if available, and thereby also the count of contributors
• The default branch
• The most recent commits
• The average date for recent commits (to analyze project activity - hat tip to Ryan Bates for the idea!)

== Usage

$ gem install github_metadata $ irb

require 'github_metadata' m = GithubMetadata.new('aslakhellesoy', 'cucumber') m.has_wiki? => true m.wiki_pages => 71 m.has_issues? => false m.contributor_usernames => ['aslakhellesoy', ...]

== TODO

• Better (any?) error handling
• Merge with my very own first_github_commit gem, which retrieves the very first commit to a repo

== Compatible rubies

Tested on MRI 1.8.7, 1.9.2, 1.9.3

== Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
