Davide Santangelofor fun, I asked myself:
Is there a way to know who is the best Ruby gem maker on the planet? Who is entitled to the title of "Gemminator"?
so I decided to write a Ruby script to take some information and get a score.
Score
The score GS ( Gemminator Score ) is defined by the sum of two values. The RGS (RubyGems Score) and GHS (GitHub Score).
RGS
sum(downloads) + (1.0 - 1.0/count(gems))
GHS
sum(stars + forks) + (1.0 - 1.0/count(repositories))
GS
GS = RGS + GHS
OK! Let's start writing some code!
Gems
for data collection I use two gems that are:
Gems - Ruby wrapper for the RubyGems.org API https://rubygems.org
Octokit - Ruby toolkit for the GitHub API http://octokit.github.io/octokit.rb/
Script
you need a GitHub personal access token to avoid rate limit. A personal access token is a token you have generated (https://github.com/settings/tokens) that can be used to access the GitHub API.
require 'octokit'
require 'gems'
downloads_count = 0
stars_count = 0
forks_count = 0
client = Octokit::Client.new(access_token: ARGV[1])
gems = Gems.gems(ARGV[0])
downloads = gems.map do |gem|
gem['downloads']
end
fetch counters
downloads_count = downloads.sum
gems.select! do |gem|
gem['homepage_uri'].to_s.start_with? 'https://github.com'
end
github_repos = gems.map do |gem|
client.repo(gem['homepage_uri'].split("/").last(2).join("/")) rescue nil
end.compact
github_repos.map do |repo|
stars_count += repo.stargazers_count
forks_count += repo.forks
end
get results
rgs = downloads_count + (1.0 - 1.0 / gems.size)
ghs = stars_count + forks_count + (1.0 - 1.0 / github_repos.size)
gs = rgs + ghs

Note
of course, it is a basic demo script without the management of all the exceptions/optimizations that can be found.
