GitRec

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

Browser Extensions

Architecture

• The trending crawler crawls trending repositories and insert them into Gorse as new items.
• The user starred crawler crawls user starred repositories and insert them into Gorse as new feedback.
• GitRec web service pulls recommendations from Gorse and show to users. It also submits a crawling request to the user starred crawler when a new user signed in.

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_DASHBOARD_USER_NAME=xxxxxxxx
GORSE_DASHBOARD_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxx
GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxxxxxx
GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=xxxxxxxx
GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=xxxxxxxx
SECRET_KEY=xxxxxxxx

• 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 to the MySQL instance.

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