GitDB

Note: This project is not yet available on GitHub.

Overview

GitDB transforms a cluttered GitHub profile into a curated portfolio. It fetches repository data, enriches it with additional metadata, and presents your best projects through a clean, filterable interface. Smart curation helps highlight significant work while filtering out forks, experiments, and archived projects.

Key Features

• Smart Curation: Automatically identifies significant projects based on activity, stars, and code quality signals.
• Metadata Enrichment: Extracts and displays languages, frameworks, and topics from repository content.
• Filterable Interface: Search and filter by language, topic, activity, and custom tags.
• Portfolio Mode: Curated view designed for sharing with potential employers or clients.
• Stats Dashboard: Aggregate statistics across all repositories.
• Sync Scheduling: Automatic updates when GitHub data changes.

Technical Architecture

GitDB uses Next.js for server-side rendering and API routes, with SQLite for local data storage. The curation pipeline runs on a schedule, fetching repository data from the GitHub API and applying scoring algorithms to rank significance.

Core systems:

• Fetch Pipeline: Rate-limited GitHub API client with caching.
• Curation Engine: Multi-factor scoring for project significance.
• Search Index: Full-text search across repository names, descriptions, and READMEs.
• Render Layer: Next.js pages with ISR for fast, fresh content.

Technology Stack

• Framework: Next.js 14 with App Router
• Language: TypeScript throughout
• Database: SQLite with Drizzle ORM
• Styling: TailwindCSS with custom components
• API: GitHub REST and GraphQL APIs

Current Status

Active development with core fetching and display features complete. The curation pipeline successfully identifies significant projects. Currently improving the portfolio mode and adding support for organization repositories.
