Github Activity Contributors Count

Definition

The Github Activity Contributors Count metrics show the unique number of people (represented as Github accounts) that have contributed to a public Github repository in an organization that is followed.

There are 3 development activity contributors count metrics available:

• dev_activity_contributors_count - Computed on-the-fly using the Github data. Because of this the metric can compute data for any asset or just any random Github organization that has public repositories like Google, Facebook, or any other organization.
• dev_activity_contributors_count_7d - Precomputed weekly metric for each asset that is available on Santiment. This allows the metric to be aggregated when the value is needed for all assets at once.
• ecosystem_dev_activity_contributors_count_7d - Precomputed for each ecosystem. The metric is defined as the total count of unique contributors that contributed to the github organization of at least one of assets that belong to it.

Note: The precomputed metrics github_activity_contributors_count_7d and ecosystem_github_activty_contributors_count_7d cannot be aggregated using the SUM aggregation, i.e. you cannot obtain the number of monthly contributors by taking the sum of 4 weekly values. This is because the same contributors may or may not make up the separate values, so the SUM operation can count some contributors multiple times. To achieve monthly contributors, use the github_activity_contributors_count metric with interval: "30d"
