Ever wanted to know your your team's top contributors are?

git heroes will tell you, based on their Github activity (pull requests, comments, and merges).

Caveat Emptor: no hard metric that measures individuals is reliable. Please do not use this to estimate someone's productivity. In combination with other tools, it can be effectivee to detect trends, though.

$ gem install git-heroes

To preserve your Github API usage limit, the tool requires locally running Redis instance for caching.

$ git heroes -r <your-organization> -t <github-token>

Outputs two files, report-timing.csv (time taken to merge pull requests) and report-points.csv (contribution points per user).

You'll probably want to pivot this in a spreadsheet application to get meaningful results; if you want a template for that just email me.
