If you'd like to change the default settings you can copy the `krumo.sample.ini` to `krumo.ini` and change the file appropriately. ### Health Score 59 — FairBetter than 98% of packages Maintenance88 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity48 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community32 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 71.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
