X-Developer Analysis Action

This GitHub Action connects GitHub and X-Developer service - Git Analytics Platform for Engineering Productivity.

Usage

This Action retrieves the Git log from CI workspace directly during the process in a workflow job. The user must specify X-Developer account ID-key and team id in GitHub secrets.

1. Create X-Developer account

Enter X-Developer Site and register an account for free.

Get your APPID APPKEY from API page.

2. Create team

• For free users, you could only create public team, which will be listed in X-Developer Explore but only developers have permission to access internal reports, we recommend this to open source projects.
• Private team is only for paid users.

This GitHub Action is free for all the users.

Once you created a team, check your TEAMID from API page.

3. Create GitHub secrets

Enter your repository setting -> secrets, create APPID APPKEY TEAMID and specify the values.

You could create APPID and APPKEY in organization secrets if you're working in an organization.
