Summary:
Running `yarn backend` will now bundle backend applications. They’ll be
placed into the new `bin/` directory. This enables us to use ES6 modules
with the standard syntax, Flow types, and all the other goodies that
we’ve come to expect. A backend build takes about 2.5s on my laptop.
Created by forking the prod configuration to a backend configuration and
trimming it down appropriately.
To test out the new changes, this commit changes `fetchGitHubRepo` and
its driver to use the ES6 module system and Flow types, both of which
are properly resolved.
Test Plan:
Run `yarn backend`. Then, you can directly run an entry point via
```
$ node bin/fetchAndPrintGitHubRepo.js sourcecred example-repo "${TOKEN}"
```
or invoke the standard test driver via
```shell
$ GITHUB_TOKEN="${TOKEN}" src/backend/fetchGitHubRepoTest.sh
```
where `${TOKEN}` is your GitHub authentication token.

SourceCred
The open-source community provides an enormous amount of value to the world. However, open-source contributors go largely unrewarded and unrecognized. SourceCred aims to help that situation, by building tools that enable quantitatively measuring the value that open-source contributors provide to individual projects, and to the community as a whole.
SourceCred will create a "Cred Graph", which is a graph that shows how the contributions that compose open-source projects are related to and derive value from each other. From this, we'll be able to assign "cred" to users based on how valuable their contributions are. Cred will be assigned based on a mixture of objective data (e.g. references between GitHub pull requests) and subjective feedback (e.g. projects' own judgments on how important different contributions were).
If you'd like to contribute, please follow along with our issues, as we are using issues to coordinate development and design decisions. We also have a slack.
