Only works on own repositories
The idea is great, I always wanted to have a complete profile of my open-source contributions. Unfortunately there's no way of marking repositories which I am not the owner of, and I am not part of the organization maintaining it, to be crawled for commits. Would it be possible to also crawl e.g. starred repositories for the users' contributions to be shown on the profile?
Example https://github.com/evfool is my profile Example repository not shown on sourcerer profile: https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-system-monitor (or several other projects I've contributed to under the GNOME org umbrella, where these are just github mirrors or git repositories hosted elsewhere) is a repository with several contributions done by my user, showing my user icon as a reference. Example commits associated to my user, but not visible on the sourcerer.io profile: https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-system-monitor/commits?author=evfool (the association happens via an email address set on my github profile, not the primary one though)
Hi @evfool ! Thank you for a feedback! We are very glad that you like our product. We are planning to add the ability to specify repo URLs in the user's settings menu. With it, you will be able to add gnome-system-monitor repo manually. How do you think this is a good solution?
Yes, adding repos manually in the user settings would also a perfect solution.
I'd actually like to see the app discover the organizations that I'm a part of and let me choose which ones to add, or something like that. I'm part of 25+ organizations on github and work on over 100 repos regularly :)
Hi @shawncatz! It can be done already on sign up. But we can't discover organizations which is not publicly listed in your GitHub profile.
Adding of a repo by URL is WIP.
By sign up, I'm guessing you mean new user flow? Is there a way to redo that?
@shawncatz you can edit organizations permissions at our GitHub application page and then in your profile click "Update -> Update GitHub repos".
ahh cool, good to know. Thanks :)
I was looking for that. Very thanks for helping us with that
