GitHub Followergraph

Small ruby scripts to obtain graphs of GitHub user's follower relation

Usage:

ruby discovery.rb 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567

where 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567 is your personal access token, which you can get from here: https://github.com/settings/applications and which should cover the required permissions.

Calling discovery.rb will create two directories with json files containing followers and "followees"(?) of a certain github handle (the handle is in the file name).

ruby graphbuilder.rb

will create two files in GEXF File Format that contain all the users and their connections which it can find in the abovementioned two json-file-filled directories.

You will need to have Bundler installed and run bundle (recommended) or you will have to replace

require 'bundler'
Bundler.require

with

require 'json'

after manually installing this gem (why would you want to?!!)
