GitHub Commit Explorer
2026hyperSprint 2026 winner
Ask about a repo in plain English, like “github repo facebook/react”, and get its commits, stats and contributor activity back. Won 1st place at hyperSprint 2026.
overview
A developer tool built for the HyperDart hackathon. It turns plain-English questions such as “show github activity for gaearon” into commit history, repository insights and contributor activity.
the problem
GitHub's REST API rate limits and a flaky contribution-calendar endpoint made searches slow and graphs incomplete.
how it works
Commits, repository metadata and contribution calendars are fetched in parallel, with automatic failover to a secondary calendar provider when the primary one throttles.
result
Won 1st prize at hyperSprint 2026, the HyperDart hackathon hosted at JIIT, for its natural-language interface and fast visual exploration.
