A command line node script that builds a basic HTML report based on Github API calls.

This project is not ready for consumption. It's been written very quickly, and I'm not sure the end result is valuable. Check back later?

npm install what-is-happening

what-is-happening --user jedcn

Results will be written to jedcn.html.

Here is what you might get: https://cl.ly/3S441s1o1s2q

Create a file in your home directory named ~/.what-is-happeningrc.

Add two entries:

GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL=github.yourcompany.com
ACCESS_TOKEN=<40 character guid>

This assumes your github enterprise is located at github.yourcompany.com.

And you have previously created a Personal Access Token.

If you do not have an access token and need to create one, you can do so through the web interface of Github Enterprise.

Visit: https://github.yourcompany.com/settings/tokens

The Access Token does not need any particular powers-- it should be created w/ the no additional permissions like so: https://cl.ly/3b1J061I0g0W

Once you have done this, you use the utility in the same way:

what-is-happening --user jedcn

You can supply additional parameters for running what-is-happening with a JavaScript config file.

This file can contain JavaScript but it needs to assign an object to module.exports like so in this self-documenting example:

module.exports = {
  daysBack: 5,
  eventsFilter: (userEventMap) => {
    // Should this event be included in the analysis?
    //
    // userEventMap is an Immutable Map built around the JSON of the
    // UserActivityEvent returned from Github's API.
    const repoNameForEvent = userEventMap.getIn(['repo', 'name']);
    return repoNameForEvent === 'banderson/inception';
  },
  outputFile: 'inception.html',
  title: 'Inception',
  users: [
    'banderson',
    'jedcn',
  ]
};

If you have saved this content into a file named inception.json, you can reference it with the --config option:

what-is-happening --config inception.json
