GitHub Commit History Timeline

Through the Builders program (previously MIECO) of Mozilla, I collaborated with Adam Bouhenguel to create an interactive visualization that shows the entire commit history of a GitHub repository. It includes an option to highlight those contributors that have been awarded with ORCA. (The Open Retrospective Compensation Agreement (ORCA), conceived by Adam, is a simple agreement for businesses to share revenue with the open source contributors who make that revenue possible.) This visual is created to work for any GitHub repository and includes documentation on how to prepare the data and load the visual for other repositories than the default of pdf.js.

Through the Builders program (previously MIECO) of Mozilla, I collaborated with Adam Bouhenguel, to create an elaborate visualization that shows the top contributors of any GitHub repository and especially highlight those that have been awarded with ORCA. The Open Retrospective Compensation Agreement (ORCA), conceived by Adam, is a simple agreement for businesses to share revenue with the open source contributors who make that revenue possible. The network shows how top contributors to a certain repository are connected to the (other) repositories that they have made commits to, thereby showing how providing compensation to these contributors could have a ripple effect throughout the open source community.
