meaningful-forks

Sort Github fork lists by the number of stars and commits ahead from the source repo.

Angular forks

Features

  • Sort forks according to the number of effective stars (excluding fork author's own star)
  • Sort forks according to the number of commits ahead from the source repo (displayed using a green up arrow)
  • Show a flame symbol for forks more recent than the source repo

Installation

  1. Install Tampermonkey for managing userscripts on Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Opera, or Safari.
  2. Add script for meaningful-forks from dist/script.js to Tampermonkey
  3. Replace the Github API access token (the constant variable) on the first line with your own. See this post on how to create a new access token. The reason for this is because Github API limits unauthorized requests to only 60 times per hour. (more details) 
    !async function(){const e="f9765ac063fb541c632e7baec5bc91f0db0738dc",...
  4. Add Userscript header to the top of Tampermonkey script 
    // ==UserScript==
// @name         meaningful-forks
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  Sort Github fork lists by the number of stars and commits ahead from the source repo.
// @author       Kevin Li
// @match        https://github.com/*/network/members
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

Now you can use meaningful-forks on any github page. To test this, go to the fork page for Angular. Your page should look similar to the demo image above.
