Repository Tracking not accurate

Open Tygo-van-den-Hurk opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

I think that there is an issue with the way that repositories are being tracked. I'm not sure how much can be done about this since it probably has to do with the GitHub API, and my weird use of GitHub, but I thought it might be worth pointing out.

The Problem

I have currently over 50 repositories in total, 24 being public. However, it says my rank is still C. It says I currently have 3 points in that category. However I think this issue arises from the method that I use to store my repositories.

All repositories made for school assignments are stored in my school organistaion, my home-lab projects are stored in my home-lab organistaion, etc. etc...

I use organizations as a sort of "category". So even tho I make the repositories with my account, I at some point "lost" ownership by transferring them to my organizations.

Possible Solution

I guess that this category is calculated by the amount of repositories on an account, however I was wondering if it'd be possible to make it based on:

  • the amount of repositories created by an account,
  • or by the amount of repositories owned by the account directly, and the organizations that account owns.

I think that option 1 is preferable, since it would also take into account repositories that are deleted.
