GitHub Repo Analyzer - Repo Intelligence

About

🐙 **Score Any GitHub Repo. Track Changes Over Time. Discover Similar Projects.**

GitHub Repo Analyzer turns any GitHub repository page into a one-click intelligence panel — perfect for developers vetting dependencies, engineering leads doing open source due diligence, and recruiters validating candidate work. Now with persistent saved repos, snapshot history, and similar-repo discovery.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✨ **WHAT IT DOES**

Open the extension on any GitHub repo page and click Analyze. In one second you get:

📊 **Composite Health Score (0–100)**
• A→F letter grade based on 8 weighted signals
• Stars, forks, open issues at a glance
• Activity rating (Active / Moderate / Inactive based on recent commits)

🔬 **Issue Detection**
Visible warnings for the things that actually matter:
• Missing README, license, or description
• Too few topics for discoverability
• Stale repo (no push in 90+ days)
• Excessive open issue count
• Archived / unmaintained warning

🌈 **Language Composition**
Top 6 languages with percentages, colour-coded as compact chips.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🆕 **WHAT'S NEW IN v1.1.0**

⭐ **Saved Repos**
Click Save on any analysed repo to bookmark it. The Saved tab lists every tracked repo with its current grade, last-saved time, and one-click open. Keeps up to 50 repos; oldest evicted on overflow. Trash icon removes individual repos.

📈 **Trends — Snapshot History**
Every Save records a snapshot. Once you have two or more, the Trends tab compares them side-by-side:
• Score, stars, forks, and open-issue deltas (↑ / ↓ / →) with colour coding (open issues invert — fewer is better)
• Unicode sparkline of the last N snapshots per metric
• Full snapshot history list (last 12) with timestamps and stats
• Per-repo storage capped at 30 snapshots

🔍 **Related Repos**
The Related tab uses GitHub's Search API to find similar projects based on the current repo's primary language and top topics. Returns up to 6 repos sorted by stars, with descriptions and last-updated timestamps. Results cached for 24 hours per query to stay under GitHub's unauthenticated rate limit.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚀 **HOW IT WORKS**

1. **Navigate** to any public GitHub repository (e.g. github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python)
2. **Click the extension icon** to open the popup
3. **Click "Analyze Repo"** — instant score, issues, and language breakdown
4. **Click "Save"** — the repo is bookmarked and a snapshot is recorded
5. **Switch tabs** — Saved (your bookmarks), Trends (changes since last save), Related (similar projects)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💡 **USE CASES**

**For Developers Evaluating Dependencies:**
• Score any npm/pip/cargo package's GitHub repo before adopting
• Save your critical dependencies, re-analyze monthly to catch declining health
• Discover better-maintained alternatives via Related

**For Engineering Leads Doing Vendor Due Diligence:**
• Audit a vendor's open source presence in 2 minutes
• Track your dependency portfolio's health over quarters
• Spot when a key library starts becoming abandoned

**For Recruiters & Hiring Managers:**
• Verify a candidate's claimed GitHub projects in seconds
• Get a Health grade for the projects on their resume
• Compare against similar projects to gauge relative quality

**For Open Source Contributors:**
• Find active projects in your preferred language via Related
• Save projects you contribute to, watch their health metrics improve as you fix issues
• Spot stale projects worth reviving — or worth ignoring

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🛡️ **SECURITY POSTURE — OWASP / MITRE ALIGNMENT**

The Health Score helps you assess open source supply chain risk (MITRE ATT&CK technique T1195 — Supply Chain Compromise). Indicators surfaced include:
• Maintenance status (archived = abandoned)
• Recent push date (stale = unpatched)
• Issue backlog (unaddressed = potential CVEs)
• License presence (unlicensed = legal risk)
• Description and topics (poor metadata = low community vetting)
