Hey developers! Today, I’m bringing you something unusual and intriguing. Introducing a project that might change the way you track trends on GitHub. No, there’s no GTA source code here, but there’s something just as exciting!

What is GitHub Trending Archive?

GitHub Trending Archive is a unique Python-based application that collects daily data on popular GitHub repositories and stores it in a database. This tool allows you to track changes in trends for selected programming languages, making it easier to see what's hot in the developer world.

Why is This Important?

Unlike other tools, GitHub Trending Archive is written entirely in Python. There are almost no similar solutions on the market, making this tool especially valuable for those who prefer Python for their development work. If you want to keep an eye on trends and analyze them using one of the most popular programming languages, this tool is perfect for you!

How Does It Work?

The project consists of several key components:

app.py: The main script that launches the Flask application and the system tray icon. It also handles daily trend data collection.
config.py: Contains configuration parameters, including the path to the .env file and application settings.
database.py: Functions for interacting with the SQLite database, including table creation and data insertion.
scraper.py: A script for scraping data from GitHub trending pages and saving it to the database.
webapp.py: Flask application for displaying trend data through a web interface.
templates/: Directory containing HTML templates for the web application.

Installation and Setup

Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/king-tri-ton/github_trending_archive.git
   cd github_trending_archive

Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Configure settings:

For version 1.0.4 and later, create a .env file in the C:\Program Files\King-Triton\GTA directory and specify the parameters:

   SCAN_TIME=17:00
   DATABASE_PATH=C:\\Program Files\\King-Triton\\GTA\\trends.db
   LANGUAGES=python,java,javaScript

Run the application:

   python app.py

This will start the Flask server and the system tray icon. The application will automatically collect trend data daily at 03:00.

How to Use

System Tray: Right-click the icon in the system tray to open or close the web application.
Web Interface: Open a browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:5000 to view available trend dates and information.

Screenshots

Future Plans

Trend Analysis with AI: Integration with OpenAI API for trend analysis and additional insights.
Installer with Configuration Wizard: Creating an installer with a graphical configuration tool for selecting programming languages and setting other parameters without manually editing files.
