forkizard
A wizard for comparing GitHub forks.
Will become useless once GitHub displays the number of ahead/behind commits on the Forks page!
Problem
StackOverflow: How to determine which forks on GitHub are ahead?
Solution
Since there does not seem to be an API for that, we scrape the info message of each GitHub fork.
Usage
Build with go build and run forkizard org/repo:
$ ./forkizard k0kubun/pp
2019/06/20 16:27:35 44 forks
44 / 44 [===============================================================================================================================] 100.00% 32s
done
/wtertius/pp +6 -3
/hbbio/pp +5 -3
/quanticko/pp +2 -12
/federico-bollo/pp +1 -12
/juntaki/pp +1 -12
/sniperkit/pp +1 -12
/yudai/pp +4 -39
/wangkechun/pp +2 -57
Building with Docker
To build without installing golang, run:
bin/build
Bugs
Current version might not compare subforks well.
