Tracks git commits made in publicly-available repositories on Github during hackathons on Hacker League.

committing runs on node.js and mongodb, so set those up first! Then run

$ npm update

A github access token is needed to retrieve data from github. Either

• Create an environment variable named GITHUB with the access token
• Create file named secrets.js with the contents module.exports.github_access_token = '<access_token>';

Set up mongodb either by adding a MONGO environment variable or editing settings.js to match your development settings.

After you set up mongodb, run

$ node ./server.js

then visit localhost:8080 in your browser.

To scrape data from Hacker League, visit localhost:8080/scrape/<hackathon-url> where <hackathon-url> is the corresponding portion of the Hacker League url, such as hackerleague.org/hackathons/<hackathon-url>. The new hackathon should show up on the homepage.

The port can be changed by setting the PORT environment variable.
