I am interested in using your ruby scripts to collect commit messages from Github. I will performing sentiment analysis on them.

Since the repositories.yml ( or commits*.yml) was not available, I defined one for my experiment. Unfortunately, the way I defined this file does not seem to match the format expected by your program.

For example, this is what I have in repositories.yml:
[{user_id: rails, repository: rails}, {user_id: MacRuby, repository: MacRuby}]

or

• { user_id: rails, repository: rails }
• { user_id: MacRuby, repository: MacRuby }

Then, when I executed the following rake rip:commits, I get the following errors

** Invoke rip:commits (first_time)
** Execute rip:commits
Repository 1 of 2
repositoryrailsuser_idrails
repositoryrailsuser_idrails
nil

From the last line, the values for user_id and repository are nil.

Any help on the repositories.yml file or any other file that I need in order to run your scripts will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If it's just all the cuss words than the data is sort of useless. If JS, for example, has 1000 projects and Python has 3 and in Pythons 3 projects there are 100 cuss words and there are 200 in the JS projects, thatd mean Python coders actually cuss more.

I was wondering if that's taken into account or if it's just a simple count of every time someone cussed.

You omitted Perl. It's tied at #4 in the top 10 languages on github - https://github.com/languages ... C# and PHP don't even make github's list.
