GitRec

GitRec is the missing recommender system for GitHub repositories based on Gorse.

Browser Extensions

The browser extension integrates GitHub with GitRec.

1. Recommends repositories to GitHub users based on starred repositories.
2. Finds related repositories for popular repositories.

Quick Start

• First, clone the repository and enter the folder.

git clone https://github.com/zhenghaoz/gitrec.git
cd gitrec

• Create a .env file.

# Gorse secrets
GORSE_DASHBOARD_USER_NAME=********
GORSE_DASHBOARD_PASSWORD=********
GORSE_API_KEY=********

# GitHub secrets
GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=********
GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=********
GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=********

# GitRec secrets
SECRET_KEY=********

# S3 secrets for backup
S3_ACCESS_KEY=********
S3_SECRET_KEY=********
S3_BUCKET_LOCATION=US
S3_HOST_BASE=s3.amazonaws.com
S3_HOST_BUCKET=%(bucket)s.s3.amazonaws.com

• Generate a personal access token from GitHub and fill the GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN variable in the .env file.

GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxxxxxx # personal access token

• Create a GitHub OAuth app. The authorization callback URL should be http://127.0.0.1:5000/login/github/authorized. Then, fill following variables in the .env file.

GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=xxxxxxxx     # client ID
GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=xxxxxxxx # client secret
SECRET_KEY=xxxxxxxx                 # random string

• Start the cluster using Docker Compose.

docker-compose up -d

• Download the SQL file github.sql and import it to the MySQL instance.

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u gorse -pgorse_pass gorse < github.sql

• Restart the master node to apply imported data.

docker-compose restart

• Play with GitRec:
