ManHours

ManHours is a tool to generate a badge for your repository.

When skimming a new repository, I'm always curious how much time went into creating it. I built Man Hours to generate and display a shields.io badge for your README with an estimate of how many hours committers have spent working on your files. You can see a sample badge above with the total hours put into this repo.

Try

Try a running ManHours here.

Run in Ubuntu

The following script will install\update this app on your Ubuntu server. Supports Ubuntu 22.04.

On your Ubuntu server, run the following command:

curl -sL https://gitlab.aiursoft.cn/aiursoft/manhours/-/raw/master/install.sh | sudo bash

Of course it is suggested that append a custom port number to the command:

curl -sL https://gitlab.aiursoft.cn/aiursoft/manhours/-/raw/master/install.sh | sudo bash -s 8080

It will install the app as a systemd service, and start it automatically. Binary files will be located at /opt/apps. Service files will be located at /etc/systemd/system.

Run manually

How to contribute

There are many ways to contribute to the project: logging bugs, submitting pull requests, reporting issues, and creating suggestions.

Even if you with push rights on the repository, you should create a personal fork and create feature branches there when you need them. This keeps the main repository clean and your workflow cruft out of sight.

We're also interested in your feedback on the future of this project. You can submit a suggestion or feature request through the issue tracker. To make this process more effective, we're asking that these include more information to help define them more clearly.
