Description

Create a chart to display the number of commits over time. This will help monitor the project's development pace and identify trends in activity.


📊 Chart Type

  • Line chart or bar chart
  • Weekly granularity (preferred)
  • Optionally include multiple lines to show per-contributor activity

🧾 Data Requirements

  • Source: GitHub API (GET /repos/:owner/:repo/commits) or local Git logs
  • Fields needed:
    • Commit date
    • Commit author (optional)

✅ Tasks

  • Fetch or export commit data grouped by week
  • Count commits per week
  • (Optional) Separate counts by contributor
  • Implement chart using a visualization library (e.g., Chart.js, D3.js, Matplotlib)
  • Add legend, axis labels, and chart title
  • Handle weeks with zero commits gracefully

✅ Acceptance Criteria

  • Contributors are ordered by activity (highest to lowest)
  • Labels and legend are clear and readable
  • Chart renders correctly and is exportable or embeddable
  • Handles many contributors gracefully (e.g., top 10 only)
