Jellyvision Programming Exercise

Overview

As Jellyvision, we would like visibility into engineering activity so that we can track development trends across projects.

We want to consume GitHub’s public API and compute how active a user is in open-source projects.

Despite what the REST API endpoints for events - GitHub Docs suggests, no API key or bearer token is required to fetch public repo activity.

Acceptance Criteria

• Write a program to access GitHub’s public API for a user (ie ge0ffrey )
• For each repo that the user has contributed to recently:
  • Find their 3 most common activity types. (e.g. commits, pull requests, comments, merges…)
  • Within that recent activity, flag any repos that the user owns.

How to run

1. Install the uv tool if you don't have it already
2. Update src/main.py with the desired GitHub username
3. Run:

uv sync
uv run src/main.py

A nice-to-have would be to extend this to provide a CLI interface to specify the GitHub username as an argument using something like Argparse

Another nice-to-have would be to sleep/retry GitHub API calls to avoid rate limiting.

Run tests

To run the tests, use the following command:

pytest

or alternatively using uv:

uv run pytest

Formatting/linting

To run code formatting and linting, run the following:

ruff format
ruff check --fix
