GitHubRating

Whether you're hiring an actual developer or just someone who needs to know how to code to solve problems, it's useful to get a feel for how much coding they actually do.

This tool runs from the command line and takes a single parameter: the github username of the person you're looking into. The result is a composite score for their programming quality on GitHub. It's not their number of repos, or their followers, or their number of code pushes—it's all of those things combined and weighted.

Usage

Example Output:

131 followers.
