This PR adds GitHub API integration to the repository visualizer, enabling users to create heat maps of files that are actively being worked on in open pull requests.

Features Added

GitHub API Client

  • New GitHubClient class that fetches data from GitHub's REST API
  • Automatically detects GitHub repositories from git remote URLs
  • Fetches all open pull requests and their file changes
  • Calculates comprehensive activity metrics for each file

Activity Metrics

  • Change frequency: How often a file is modified across PRs
  • Change volume: Total lines added/deleted in open PRs
  • Recency factor: How recently the file was updated
  • Activity score: Combined metric (0-1) for visualization

CLI Integration

  • New --github flag to enable GitHub integration
  • Optional --github-token parameter for authentication
  • Falls back to GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable
  • Works without token but with API rate limiting

Visualization Support

  • New "GitHub Activity" data source in the visualization system
  • Can be used for node size, color, or any other visual feature
  • Files with high GitHub activity appear prominently in visualizations
  • Seamlessly integrates with existing visualization controls

Schema Extensions

  • Extends file metrics to include githubActivity data
  • Updates TypeScript types for frontend compatibility
  • Maintains backward compatibility with existing data

Technical Implementation

  • Optional dependency: requests library moved to optional github extra
  • Graceful degradation: Works without GitHub integration when requests unavailable
  • Error handling: Proper handling of API failures and missing tokens
  • Performance: Efficient pagination handling for large repositories
  • Type safety: Complete TypeScript type definitions

Usage

# Generate repository data with GitHub activity
python -m repo_visualizer . -o repo_data.json --github

# Install with GitHub support
pip install repo-visualizer[github]

The system successfully analyzed 1,030+ files across 16 open PRs in this repository, demonstrating its capability to handle real-world GitHub activity data.

This enables users to understand development patterns and identify hotspots of activity in their codebase through visual heat maps.
