GitHub composite action to request and accumulate a repository clones/views statistic.
Tutorial to use with: https://github.com/andry81-devops/github-accum-stats
All tutorials: https://github.com/andry81/index#tutorials
-
Repository to track and repository to store traffic statistic can be different, and you may directly point the statistic as commits list:
https://github.com/{{REPO_OWNER}}/{{REPO}}--gh-stats/commits/master/traffic/clonesorhttps://github.com/{{REPO_OWNER}}/{{REPO}}--gh-stats/commits/master/traffic/views -
Workflow is used accum-stats.sh bash script to accumulate traffic statistic
-
The script accumulates statistic both into a single file and into a set of files grouped by year and allocated per day:
traffic/clones/by_year/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD.jsonortraffic/views/by_year/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD.json -
The script does compensate statistic interpolation issue (from inner GitHub resolution like per hour basis into per day basis) for the last records by calculation of the min and max values per day fluctuation and does use the maximum value instead of an interpolated value for all being removed outdated records (after 14'th day).
-
The script does detect residual changes in the
latest.jsonfile has generated by the github to avoid excessive commits while a day with empty or has no effect changes except those changes which is a removal of outdated records (after 14'th day).
-
CONTINUE_ON_INVALID_INPUT=1,CONTINUE_ON_EMPTY_CHANGES=1,CONTINUE_ON_RESIDUAL_CHANGES=1: Treats invalid input, empty changes or unexpected/residual changes as not an error as by default. -
ENABLE_GENERATE_CHANGELOG_FILE=1,CHANGELOG_FILE=".../changelog.txt": Generates a textual changelog file with notes about changes per commit including the changes absence in case of skipped errors. -
ENABLE_COMMIT_MESSAGE_DATE_WITH_TIME=1: Inserts the time string in formatHH:MMZadditionally after the date in each commit message (by default inserts only a date for shorter commit messages). -
ENABLE_COMMIT_MESSAGE_DATE_TIME_WITH_LAST_CHANGED_DATE_OFFSET=1: Inserts the last changed date offset string additionally after the datetime in each commit message in format-DDTto note the closest changed date. -
ENABLE_COMMIT_MESSAGE_WITH_WORKFLOW_RUN_NUMBER=1: Inserts the workflow run number after date/time prefix in each commit message (by default does not insert for shorter commit messages). -
ENABLE_GITHUB_ACTIONS_RUN_URL_PRINT_TO_CHANGELOG=1: Prints GitHub Actions Run URL (with or without workflow run number) into the changelog file to reference the log on the GitHub from the changelog file. -
ENABLE_REPO_STATS_COMMITS_URL_PRINT_TO_CHANGELOG=1: Prints Statistic Output Repository commit URL into the changelog file to reference the commit from being committed changelog file.Note The actual hash of the commit can not be know on the moment of the commit. So instead of the commit hash, an approximate date of the commit is used (~ +5 min ahead) in format of:
https://github.com/{{REPO_OWNER}}/{{REPO}}--gh-stats/commits?branch={{BRANCH}}&time_zone=utc&until=YYYY-MM-DD
