New blog post looking at package contributor statistics on GitHub: https://tidytales.ca/posts/2023-05-10_r-developers-github/

This time I try to answer questions like:

  • How many packages are hosted on GitHub?
  • How many people have contributed to them?
  • What does the network of people with common package contributions look like?
  • And much more!

There are also interactive {gt} tables so you can browse contribution and package statistics; and I’ve shared the data so you can explore your own questions. Enjoy!

This is a follow-up to my post two weeks ago looking at package developer statistics on CRAN: https://fosstodon.org/@mccarthymg/110306605466215008

And if you’re wondering how I did the Mastodon quote in Quarto, here’s that: https://fosstodon.org/@mccarthymg/110371193603225628

    @Mehrad Thanks! Most of the functions in the post are from tidyverse or base R, aside from the graph theory stuff.

    It would be interesting to see whether and how much people are using platforms other than GitHub for their packages. My guess is not much, but I could be wrong. It’s beyond the scope of my post, but if you or anyone else wants to tackle this feel free to remix my code!
