Git Pull Talent

Project Intelligence for Open Source Contributors

Git Pull Talent computes a contribution importance score for any GitHub user — a single number that reflects not just how much someone contributes, but how much it matters. It works by analyzing merged pull requests across open source repositories and weighting them by the influence of those projects.

Standard GitHub profiles show activity. Git Pull Talent shows impact.

How the Score Works

The core formula is simple by design:

contribution_importance = stars × (user_merged_PRs / total_merged_PRs)

A PR merged into a 40,000-star repo counts for more than ten merged into projects nobody uses. Repos under 10 stars are excluded, and per-repo scores are capped at 10,000 to prevent a single viral project from dominating the picture.

Score levels:

Score	Level
< 10	Newcomer
10 – 99	Contributor
100 – 499	Active Contributor
500 – 1,999	Core Contributor
2,000+	Open Source Leader

Running Locally

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+, a GitHub account, a Supabase project, and an Upstash Redis database.

1. Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/chemicoholic21/gitpulltalent.git
cd gitpulltalent
npm install

2. Configure environment

Copy .env.example to .env.local and fill in your credentials:

# GitHub OAuth
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID="..."
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET="..."

# NextAuth
NEXTAUTH_SECRET="..."       # Generate with: openssl rand -base64 32
NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000"

# Supabase (Postgres) — use the Transaction pooler connection string (port 6543)
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres.<project-ref>:<password>@aws-0-<region>.pooler.supabase.com:6543/postgres"

# Upstash (Redis)
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL="..."
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN="..."

# GitHub PAT pool (add more as needed)
GITHUB_TOKEN_1="ghp_..."

3. Push the schema

npm run db:push

4. Start the dev server

npm run dev

Deploying to Vercel

Supabase (database)

Create a project, grab the pooled connection string (port 6543), and run npm run db:push locally against it to sync the schema before deploying.

Upstash (cache)

Create a Redis database and copy the REST_URL and REST_TOKEN. You can optionally configure a global rate limit window from the Upstash console.

GitHub OAuth

Go to Settings → Developer Settings → OAuth Apps and create a new app:

• Homepage URL: https://gitpulltalent.vercel.app
• Callback URL: https://gitpulltalent.vercel.app/api/auth/callback/github

Vercel

Import the repo, add all .env.local variables to the project's environment settings (make sure NEXTAUTH_URL points to your production domain), and deploy.
