GitHub Project Quality Analyzer
Deep dive into code quality, maintenance, and developer health
Introduction
The GitHub Project Quality Analyzer is an advanced feature that goes beyond basic stats to evaluate the *quality* of your engineering work. It analyzes your repositories to compute sophisticated metrics like code velocity, maintenance health, issue hygiene, and documentation quality.
Why It Exists
Stars and fork counts don't tell the whole story. You need to know if your codebases are maintained, if your contribution patterns are sustainable, and if you're building a diverse skillset. This tool bridges the gap between raw data and actionable engineering insights.
How It Works
1. Comprehensive Data Fetching
The system fetches detailed data for all your repositories (supporting large accounts with 100+ repos) using the GraphQL API. It gathers:- Commit history and frequency
- Pull request workflows (merged vs. closed)
- Issue tracking patterns
- Language distribution per repository
2. Intelligent Scoring
We apply custom algorithms to compute normalized scores (0-100) for both repositories and your overall developer profile. These scores consider factors like repo age, community engagement, and recent activity.3. Background Processing
Because the analysis is deep and comprehensive, it runs in the background. You can navigate away and come back to see the results when ready.Key Metrics Computed
Repository Quality (0-100)
Each repository gets a scorecard based on:- Quality Index: Weighted combination of stars, forks, and watchers
- Maintenance Score: Recency of commits (last 30/90 days)
- Issue Hygiene: Ratio of closed to open issues
- PR Acceptance Rate: Efficiency of your code review process
- Documentation: Presence of README, description, topics, and license
Developer Profile (0-100)
Your overall engineering health is measured by:- Consistency: Regularity of contributions over time
- Velocity: Commits per active week
- Language Focus: Depth vs. breadth of language usage
- Collaboration: Engagement in other repositories (PRs/Issues)
Dashboard Features
Quality Insights Tab
A dedicated dashboard tab featuring:- Circular Score Cards: Visual breakdown of developer metrics
- Radar Chart: "Spider web" visualization of your skill profile
- Sortable Repository Table: View and sort all your repos by quality score, with a "Load More" feature for large lists
- Smart Feedback: Detailed textual insights identifying strengths and areas for improvement
Usage
1. Go to Dashboard > GitHub. 2. Switch to the Quality Insights tab. 3. Click Start Quality Analysis. 4. Wait for the background job to complete (you'll see a skeleton loading state). 5. Explore your detailed repository scores and developer insights.
