The tool checks the repository against a list of metrics. The metrics are mostly inspired by [Github's Open Source Guides](https://opensource.guide/). How To Install And Use ---------------------- [](#how-to-install-and-use) Install the package with composer. ``` composer global require wospm/checker ``` You can use `--help` parameter to how the options and other information of the command. ``` wospm-checker --help WOSPM Checker version: 0.0.1 Options: --output The format of output. JSON, READABLE (Default), NO, HTML. --verbose Show the progress or not. (0 => No, 1 => Detailed, 2 => Dots) --no-colors Disable the console colors. It is enabled by default. --strict Enable strict mode. The script will have a higher bound to give success code. --version Show version. --help Print this help. ``` You can check your project by running the `wospm-checker` command in the root folder of your repo. ``` /full/path/to/wospm-checker ``` [![alt text](./assets/screenshot-1.png)](./assets/screenshot-1.png) ### Github Action [](#github-action) It is also ready on Github marketplace as an action with name "[WOSPM Checker Github Action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/wospm-checker-github-action)" to use in your pipeline. To Be Considered ---------------- [](#to-be-considered) **GitHub Rest API Rate Limit** ❗❗❗ `wospm-checker` uses GitHub Rest API to fecth repository information in some of the metric checks. There some [limits](https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting) in using this API. When you use `wospm-checker` very frequently, you may hit the wall of anonymous limit of the API. ``` Client error: `GET https://api.github.com/repos/user/repo/labels` resulted in a `403 Forbidden` response: { "message": "API rate limit exceeded for XX.XX.XX.XXX. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher (truncated...) ``` You can use your [personal access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) to have a bigger rate limit. In order to do this, you need to create a YML file with name `.wospm` under the root folder of the repository to be checked. ``` github: auth_token: PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN ``` WOSPM Metrics ------------- [](#wospm-metrics) WOSPM metrics are measures to make quantitative assessments about the open sourse projects if they are contributor friendly or not. They are not scientific values which are mostly derived from [Open Source Guides](https://opensource.guide/). ### Metric Rules [](#metric-rules) 1. Every metric should check only one simple case 2. Metrics can be dependent to each other (If there is no README, no need to make any check in README content etc.) 3. Every metric should have a unique WOSPMXXX number and a unique title (uppercase and snake-case). For more information about adding a new metric to the project, please [Add New Metric](./CONTRIBUTING.md#add-new-metric) section. ### List of Existing Metrics [](#list-of-existing-metrics) To see the details of the metrics, click the metric code for detailed document.
