CSC/ECE 517 Fall 2023 - G2350. Add GitLab support for using GraphQL to query user metrics 1

This wiki page is for information regarding the changes made for the G2350. Add GitLab support for using GraphQL to query user metrics 1 OSS assignment for Fall 2023, CSC/ECE 517.

Introduction

This project is dedicated to retrieving GitLab-specific data associated with a user by their username. Our objective was to fetch a comprehensive array of user-related information, including:

• User commit comments
• User issue comments
• User gist comments
• User repository discussion comments
• User profile stats
• User contribution collection

Using the powerful GraphQL APIs provided by GitLab, we aimed to streamline the extraction process and obtain a holistic view of a user's activity and contributions within the GitLab ecosystem.

Problem Statement

• Go through the github queries present in the repo
• Execute the demo.py file to check how the code is executing for the github queries
• Go through the gitlab documentation and write the relevant gitlab queries for the queries available on github.
• Indicate the gitlab queries that are not available and what gitlab query has been obtained instead.
• Ensure the code is not breaking.
