pullq: Pull request queue visualization

This is a tool inspired by review gator with a number of differences:

• Github-only support
• A departure in the presentation style
• Decoupling of stats gathering and presentation
• Additional dynamic filters (authors, repositories, labels, status)

tl;dr

To get from nothing to a working pullq assuming you have a clojure environment already setup:

git clone https://github.com/exoscale/pullq.git
cd pullq
cat > pullq.conf <<EOF
exoscale pullq 1
exoscale cli 2
EOF
lein run
cd build
python3 -m http.server
xdg-open http://localhost:8000

You can now run this in e.g a cron:

lein run

Overview

Pullq is essentially a clojure program that generates a data file, that you run periodically (via cron, or any preferred method).

The web application included in this repository can be served along with that data file with any webserver as static files, and will render an interface like the screenshot above.

Running pullq

Since a pre-built javascript application is included in this repo, all you need to use pullq are these two steps:

• Generate a data-file for your repositories
• Look at the output

Generating the data-file

You will need to install Leiningen, the Clojure build tool. It will take care of gathering other dependencies for you (putting them in your ~/.m2 folder).

To generate the data file, you will need a config file, defaulting to pullq.conf in the current directory. You will also need to provide a github token for private repository access, either in the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, or by providing the -t command line flag.

# An example "pullq.conf" file
# user repo minimum-oks
exoscale pullq 1
clojure clojure 2
clojure clojurescript 2

You can then generate the data periodically with:

lein run

Looking at the output

The build subdirectory can now be served with any webserver as static files.

As an example, let's serve it with python3's built-in webserver:

(cd build && python3 -m http.server)

You can now browse to http://localhost:8000, have fun!

Generating the Javascript application

This is only needed if you wish to modify the frontend (the clojurescript application).

You will need leiningen installed for this step as well.

In the repository, run: lein cljsbuild once min

You probably will want to move your built app.js file from resources/public/js/compiled to build/js/compiled, so that your changes are served with your data file.

Caveats

This is extracted from internal tooling at Exoscale and might be a bit rough around the edges.
