MultiQC Stats

Automated statistics to plot MultiQC contributions over time.

This repository contains two main scripts:

• generate_plots.py - Analyzes the git repository locally to track modules and contributors
• generate_github_stats.py - Uses the GitHub API to track issues and pull requests

Modules over time

This plot is generated by looping over repository commits and counting the number of files in the MultiQC modules directory.

Contributors over time

This plot is generated by looping over commits to the main MultiQC repository and counting when a new contributor either contributes a commit, or co-authors a commit. The latter is found in commit messages and is needed for 2025 onwards, when MultiQC adopted a squash-merge strategy.
