Open source guruOpen Source GuruCommon questions about Open Source Guru.
Yes. Open Source Guru is free and open source, and built to run on a small budget.
Contributing to open-source projects on GitHub needs a GitHub account anyway, and it means one less password for you. We only ask for read access to your email addresses.
A few common reasons:
Your feed lists everything that matched, even if an email hasn't been sent yet.
No. Only public repositories, since the goal is open-source contribution.
Not yet: a subscription is for one repository. You can have up to 50.
Not yet. Discord, Slack, webhooks and ntfy are planned. In the meantime, the API lets you read your feed from your own tools.
Only Open Source Contributions count: in public, OSI-licensed repositories that your own account doesn't own. GitHub also counts private repositories, your own projects and unlicensed ones. The Not counted section of your Contributions page shows what was left out, and why.
Contributions are refreshed every 6 hours, and when you open your dashboard if the last refresh is more than 15 minutes old. Give it a few minutes, then reload. Also check that the repository is open source and not your own: see What counts.
Yes: turn off Public profile in Settings. It's immediate. Your contributions keep being tracked on your dashboard, for you only.
