SourceCred creates reputation networks for open-source projects.
Any open-source project can create its own _cred_, which is a reputational metric showing how much credit contributors deserve for helping the project.
To compute cred, we organize a project’s contributions into a graph, whose edges connect contributions to each other and to contributors.
We then run PageRank on that graph.
Update README (#482) Rewrites the README to be a lot more concrete about what SourceCred is doing, and to give more up-to-date information overall. Test plan: The README includes a small code block with instructions for turning on a local copy of the Cred Explorer. I ran this on my machine (inside /tmp) and it worked locally.

We have a [prototype] that can generate a cred attribution based on GitHub interactions (issues, pull requests, comments, references, etc.).
We’re working on adding more information to the prototype, such as tracking modifications to individual files, source-code analysis, GitHub reactions, and more.
