The problem with GitHub profiles

Your GitHub profile shows a green square for the day you renamed a variable and the same green square for the day you fixed a CVE. No weighting. No context. No way to show that 50 merged PRs across Kyverno, Hyperledger, and CNCF projects represent months of serious systems work — not just commit spam.

GitPulse fixes that. It pulls your real GitHub activity, runs it through a weighted Impact Score algorithm, and produces a dashboard and shareable profile that actually reflects what you've built.

✨ Features

Feature	What it does
Impact Score	Weighted formula: (PRs × 10) + (Reviews × 5) + (Issues × 3) + (Comments × 1) + (Streak × 2). A number that means something.
Live Streak Tracking	Counts every day you merged a PR or submitted a review. Calendar heatmap over 52 weeks.
Cross-Repo Dashboard	Aggregates contributions across all your public repos — not just one project.
Public Profile Page	gitpulse.dev/u/{username} — shareable, no login required to view.
Repository Breakdown	Per-repo stats: PR count, review count, lines contributed, first and most recent contribution.
Review Latency Tracker	Average time from PR open to your first review. A metric that shows you're a reliable reviewer, not just an author.
GitHub OAuth	One-click login. Read-only scope. We never touch your code.
Zero-cost infra	Built entirely on the free GitHub GraphQL API. No paid third-party services required.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go 1.22+
• Node.js 20+
• PostgreSQL 15+
• A GitHub OAuth App (create one here)

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/atharrva01/Gitpulse.git
cd Gitpulse

2. Configure environment

# backend/.env
cp backend/.env.example backend/.env

# GitHub OAuth
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
GITHUB_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8080/auth/callback

# Database
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/gitpulse

# App
JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret
PORT=8080
FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:5173

3. Run with Docker (recommended)

docker-compose up --build

Frontend: http://localhost:5173
Backend: http://localhost:8080

4. Run manually

# Terminal 1 — backend
cd backend
go mod download
go run main.go

# Terminal 2 — frontend
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

📊 The Impact Score

The score is fully transparent and versioned. No black box.

Impact Score = (PRs Merged  × 10)
             + (Reviews Given × 5)
             + (Issues Closed × 3)
             + (PR Comments   × 1)
             + (Current Streak × 2)

Max: 1000 · Updated: every 24 hours · Source: GitHub GraphQL API

Why weighted this way? Merging a PR takes more sustained effort than leaving a comment. Reviews are undervalued by every other tool, GitPulse gives them real weight. Streak multiplier rewards consistency over burst activity.

The formula lives in backend/services/impact_score.go and is open to community tuning.
