AI BriefingGitHub Repo Stats Tool Released
Key point
A tool for viewing GitHub repository statistics directly in the browser has been released.
Details
GitHub Repo Stats has arrived, a tool that shows statistics when you enter a GitHub repository URL or owner/repo in the browser.
This tool calls the GitHub REST API directly to gather key repository metrics on a single screen.
- commits, contributors, branches, tags, releases, and open pull request count
- Language breakdown, top contributors, latest release, license, and key dates
The total counts are calculated from the Link header of a ?per_page=1 request, so there's no need to paginate through every item to the end. It targets the problem of commit counts being hard to see on the GitHub mobile site, and also shows example results for simonw/datasette and simonw/llm.
