I have a pet project where I am trying to get some stats about collaborators (core team members, as per https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp/wiki/Contributors-vs-Collaborators). Basically I want to know when people were added to a repo. Since I want to get that info retroactively, I was thinking of using the github archive.
According to the docs (https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/types/#memberevent) MemberEvent is what I am looking for. Yet, as far as I can tell, there are barely any events of that sort in the Github Archive. All I find are 'added' events. Is there somewhere on a repo's page where I should be able to see it so that I can triangulate what i retrieve from github archive and the project page?
Thanks a lot!

I've almost done my first big project in React+Typescript+Redux and started it on Firebase with users and some database conneted with logged users.
It was supposed to be my project to portfolio before looking for my first dev job, but it start to be very complex.
Now I have idea to use it in the future to make commercial app.
So the problem is I don't want to publish my code on github, but at the same time I want to publish all my commits and repository description on Github for recrutiers (and all my tasks from trello table). Is it possible to publish only commits and description from github repository?
No, this is not possible. If your repository is public, anyone can clone the entire repository. The only way to make your code inaccessible is to make the repository private, which means nobody can see it without having permssion.
I am looking for a place which maintain GitHub archives (Source code) periodically.
My requirement is, I need to analyze status of Java/C++/Python GitHub projects over the past years and identify trends of Softwares. For my analysis, I need the exact picture of GitHub for past couple of years. If there is anyplace which checkout GitHub projects periodically and make it available for research purposes, I would like to know a such place.
NOTE:
As far as I know GH Archive maintain, history of GitHub events. But what I need is the exact picture of source codes.
Why I can't go back to the commit history and find the exact picture? I won't be able to consider about deleted project if I consider current picture and try to go back to history.
For analyzing repos hosted on GitHub.com, you may need to contact GitHub support.
They may have these trend reports and share/sell them to you.
Hope this helps!
I changed jobs and my beautiful green Github contributions graph is now almost completely empty. I worked on the same project every day for one year and now all my hard work looks like it's gone!
I realise this is because I was a collaborator on a private repo at my old company. When I started my new job, the old company removed me as a collaborator on their project.
I have looked through the docs on Github but it looks like that is how the graph works. Is there any way to get it back? How can I stop the same thing happening at my next job?
I have tried a lot but unable to find a fruitful solution.
From their website We recommend starring any repositories you contribute to. That way, your commits to those repositories will remain in your contributions graph even if you leave the organization that owns the repository or delete your fork of the repository.
I have tested this approach by creating another github account and starring the repository which doesn't work as they said.
I also have gone through this, but this doesn't help to solve the issue.
I don't think there is any way to show contribution if owner removes collaborator.
I want to move the entire project board of a GitHub repository to another. Is there any way that can be done without manually copying each and every card.
Project board is a feature on GitHub to organize and prioritize work. More
Thank you.
EDIT:
When I contacted GitHub Support, I got the following response.
There isn't currently a way to merge a Project on GitHub, but I can
definitely see how that would be useful. I can't make any promises but
I'll let the team know you'd like to see us add this feature in the
future.
I'd like to see a graph of the total size of a repo over time.
(this is useful as it can help to see if poeple are accidentally checking in stuff they shouldn't, like binaries etc.)
The standard github graphs show lots of interesting stuff, but not this simple metric so far as I can see.
Any ideas?
Have you considered giving a try to the GitHub Archive project?
As stated on the home page
GitHub Archive is a project to record the public GitHub timeline, archive it, and make it easily accessible for further analysis.
GitHub Archive provides downloadable json datasets and also makes its content available via Google BigQuery for easy online analysis (see this document for more information on this topic and sample queries).
Note: GitHub timeline data is available starting February 12, 2011.
Update:
Provided your repository is private, you may have to fallback to the GitHub API and consider the size member. In order to graph, you'd have to trigger a regularly call to the API and locally store the result.
syntax: /repos/:user/:repo [GET]
example: https://api.github.com/repos/libgit2/libgit2
