I copied about 19,000 git repositories into a full-text solr index. Because commits are tied to email addresses this provides interesting insight into corporate open source contributions. The search front-end I added lets you search for programmers or companies, grouped by the number of commits.
For example, searching for Linux returns the following results:
linux-foundation | ……………. |
gmail | ………….. |
redhat | …….. |
suse | ……. |
Note that “gmail” indicates the use of @gmail.com addresses, so it’s non-company result. Searching for Android returns:
………………………………………………………….. | |
android | …………………. |
gmail | ….. |
elte | … |
motorola | .. |
josefson | .. |
ziplinegames | .. |
suse | .. |
mosabuam | .. |
.. | |
davemloft | .. |
linux-foundation | .. |
sonyericsson | .. |
