Check your rank in GitHub! Get the list of active users in GitHub by country using GitHub Graph API. Go to gayanvoice/top-github-users.

How it works?

The list of countries and the cities are sorted in config.json as an array. The octokit/graphql.js fetches the data from GitHub Graph API. After the fetch is completed, it creates a JSON file by country name in ./cache. The checkpoint.json is used to checkpoint the country.

The action gets the list of users and order it by public contributions, total contributions, and number of followers from cache to generate markdowns, and ranking. The ./docs contains the rankings of total public contirubtions by country.
