This commit adds a `neighbors` method to `PagerankGraph`. This is an augmented version of `Graph.neighbors`. It returns the base data from `Graph.neighbors` as well as the score, the edge weights, and the score contribution. The score contribution basically means how much score was contributed from the target node by this particular neighbor connection. When the graph is well-converged, a node's score will be the sum of all its neighbors' score contributions, as well as the contribution it received from its synthetic loop edge. So, for completeness sake, I added another method, `syntheticLoopScoreContribution`, which computes how much score a node received from its synthetic loop edge. (This value should usually be close to 0). You can think of these two methods as providing a replacement for the `PagerankNodeDecomposition` logic. Test plan: I've added tests that verify: - That neighbors returns results consistent with Graph.neighbors - That neighbors' score contributions are computed correctly - That neighbors errors if the graph has been modified - That synthetic score contributions are computed correctly - That a node's score is the sum of all its contributions Test plan: Unit tests included. Run `yarn test`. |

SourceCred
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.
To learn more about SourceCred’s vision and values, please check out our website and our forum. One good forum post to start with is A Gentle Introduction to Cred.
For an example of SourceCred in action, you can see SourceCred’s own prototype cred attribution.
Current Status
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.
Running the Prototype
If you’d like to try it out, you can run a local copy of SourceCred as follows. First, make sure that you have the following dependencies:
- Install Node (tested on v8.x.x).
- Install Yarn (tested on v1.7.0).
- Create a GitHub API token. No special permissions are required.
- For macOS users: Ensure that your environment provides GNU coreutils. See this comment for details about what, how, and why.
Then, run the following commands to clone and build SourceCred:
git clone https://github.com/sourcecred/sourcecred.git
cd sourcecred
yarn install
yarn backend
export SOURCECRED_GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN
node bin/sourcecred.js load REPO_OWNER/REPO_NAME
# this loads sourcecred data for a particular repository
# it can take a few mins to run and will exit when finished
yarn start
# then navigate to localhost:8080 in your browser
For example, if you wanted to look at cred for ipfs/js-ipfs, you could run:
$ export SOURCECRED_GITHUB_TOKEN=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
$ node bin/sourcecred.js load ipfs/js-ipfs
replacing the big string of zeros with your actual token.
You can also combine data from multiple repositories into a single graph.
To do so, pass multiple repositories to the load command, and specify an “output name” for the repository.
For instance, the invocation
node bin/sourcecred.js load ipfs/js-ipfs ipfs/go-ipfs --output ipfs/meta-ipfs
will create a graph called ipfs/meta-ipfs in the cred explorer, containing the combined contents of the js-ipfs and go-ipfs repositories.
Early Adopters
We’re looking for projects who want to be early adopters of SourceCred! If you’re a maintainer of an open-source project and would like to start using SourceCred, please reach out to us on our Discord or our forum.
Contributing
We’d love to accept your contributions! You can reach out to us by posting on our forum, or chatting with us on Discord. We'd be happy to help you get started and show you around the codebase. Please also take a look at our contributing guide.
