GitHub hosts millions of software repositories, facilitating developers to contribute to many projects in multiple ways. Most of the information about the repositories is text-based in the form of stars, forks, commits, and so on. However, developers willing to contribute to projects on GitHub often find it challenging to select appropriate projects to contribute to or reuse due to the large number of repositories present on GitHub. Further, obtaining this required information often becomes a tedious process, as one has to carefully mine information hidden inside the repository. To alleviate the effort intensive mining procedures, researchers have proposed npm-badges to outline information relating to build status of a project. However, these badges are static and limit their usage to package dependency and build details. Adding visual cues such as badges to the repositories might reduce the search space for developers. Hence, we present GitQ, to automatically augment GitHub repositories with badges representing information about source code and project maintenance. Presenting GitQ as a browser plugin to GitHub could make it easily accessible to developers using GitHub. GitQ is evaluated with 15 developers based on the UTAUT model to understand developer perception towards its usefulness. We observed that 11 out of 15 developers perceived GitQ to be useful in identifying the right set of repositories using visual cues such as generated by GitQ. The source code and tool are available for download on GitHub at https://github.com/gitq-for-github/plugin, and the demo can be found at https://youtu.be/c0yohmIat3A.

翻译：GitHub 拥有数以百万计的软件库, 便利开发者以多种方式为许多项目作出贡献。 大多数关于库的信息都是以恒星、 叉子、 承诺等形式基于文本的信息。 然而, 愿意为GitHub 的项目作出贡献的开发者往往发现, 选择适当的项目来帮助或再利用GitHub 的软件库很困难。 此外, 获得这种所需信息往往成为一个烦琐的过程, 因为我们必须小心地在库内隐藏信息。 为了减轻大量采矿程序, 研究人员提议了 npm-badge 以恒星、 叉子、 承诺等形式提供与构建项目状态有关的文本信息。 然而, 这些徽章是静态的, 将其使用限于软件依赖和构建细节。 因此, 我们介绍 GitQQ, 以自动增强GitHub 库, 显示源代码和项目源代码的信息。 将Github 显示 Github 用于 GitHub 的浏览器插件, Gic- Q 将使用GitHual- develop- developmental 并用15 Developmental 。
