GitHub - jqassistant-plugin/jqassistant-github-plugin: @jqassistant plugin to scan GitHub repositories

This is a GitHub scanner for [jQAssistant](https://jqassistant.org/). It enables jQAssistant to scan and analyze GitHub repositories.

Using the jQAssistant GitHub Plugin

Note

This plugin requires authentication to the GitHub API by one of the options of the underlying GitHub API Library, i.e., via

A property file in the user home directory (~/.github), or
Environment variables, e.g.,

GITHUB_OAUTH

An API token with at least repo:read permissions.

GITHUB_LOGIN

The username on GitHub (a login name is mandatory, though a token should be enough for authorization).

To be able to use the plug-in, it must be specified as a plug-in to jQAssistant. Additionally, at least one GitHub repository needs to be configured to be scanned. Optionally, the branch to scan may be configured using the scanner property github.repository.branch. This property defaults to main.

List all your open Issues over multiple repositories:

List all your open Issues over multiple repositories

MATCH
    (r:GitHub:Repository)-[:HAS_ISSUE]->(i:GitHub:Issue {state:"OPEN"})
RETURN
    r.owner + "/" + r.name AS Repository, i.title AS Issue

Count open Issues per repository

MATCH
    (r:GitHub:Repository)-[:HAS_ISSUE]->(:GitHub:Issue {state:"OPEN"})
RETURN
    r.owner + "/" + r.name AS Repository, count(*) AS issueCount
ORDER BY
    issueCount DESC

List open issues per user

MATCH
    (:GitHub:Issue {state:"OPEN"})-[:HAS_ASSIGNEE]->(u:GitHub:User)
RETURN
    u.username AS UserName, count(*) AS OpenIssues

Issue quality

Show issues without description

MATCH
    (i:GitHub:Issue)
WHERE
    i.body = ""
RETURN
    i.number AS Issue, i.title AS Title

Show issues without labels

MATCH
    (i:GitHub:Issue)
WHERE
    NOT (i)-[:HAS_LABEL]->()
RETURN
    i.number AS Issue, i.title AS Title

Show durations it needed to resolve an issue

MATCH
    (i:GitHub:Issue{state: "CLOSED"})
RETURN
    i.number AS Issue, i.title AS Title, duration.between(i.createdAt, i.closedAt)

Show issues older than 1 month that are still open

MATCH
    (i:Issue {state:"OPEN"})
WHERE
    i.createdAt <= datetime()-duration('P30D')
RETURN
    i.number AS Issue, i.title AS Title

Why are these issues still open?

Let’s have a look at a few indicators:

Find open issues without labels

MATCH
    (i:GitHub:Issue {state:"OPEN"})
WHERE
    NOT (i)-[:HAS_LABEL]->(:GitHub:Label)
RETURN
    i.number AS Issue, i.title AS Title

Find open issues without assignee

MATCH
    (i:GitHub:Issue {state:"OPEN"})
WHERE
    NOT (i)-[:HAS_ASSIGNEE]->(:GitHub:User)
RETURN
    i.number AS Issue, i.title AS Title
