This project follows the all-contributors specification. Contributions of any kind welcome!
NOTE: if you should be on the list of contributors but we forgot you, don't be shy and let us know!
Normally in order to retrieve all repositories a user has interacted with, one should query the GitHub Events API. Unfortunately it returns only the last 90 days, so we don't use it.
Instead we noticed that the "Contribution Activity" section's content on the profile pages comes from URLs like https://github.com/AurelienLourot?from=2018-10-09 .
So we're fetching these URLs too and parsing their output.
We hit a rate limit. And since it's not an official API, we can't use a token to raise the limit.
NOTE: the rate limit seems to be 40 requests / minute / endpoint / IP. Thus even if crawling a single user takes about 3 hours on a single machine, crawling many users in parallel on that same machine should still take about 3 hours.
Yes, it is since that interface isn't public. We're monitoring it1 and will react as fast as we can when it breaks.

this tool every day.
github-contribs can only discover commits considered as
GitHub contributions,
i.e. commits that would also appear in the activity section of your GitHub profile. For example it
doesn't discover commits in forks.

- GitHub-contributions: uses a different technique. It fetches all the user's pull requests from the official API. This is clever but will miss the repos to which the user has pushed directly without pull request.
- gharchive.org: records all GitHub events for all users. In theory it should be possible to replace our implementation by queries to this huge database.
