An exporter for Prometheus that collects metrics from GitHub.

You can download prebuilt binaries from our GitHub releases. Besides that we also prepared repositories for DEB and RPM packages which can be found at Baltorepo. If you prefer to use containers you could use our images published on GHCR, Docker Hub or Quay. If you need further guidance how to install this take a look at our docs.

If you are not familiar with Nix it is up to you to have a working environment for Go (>= 1.24.0) as the setup won't we covered within this guide. Please follow the official install instructions for Go. Beside that we are using go-task to define all commands to build this project.

git clone https://github.com/promhippie/github_exporter.git
cd github_exporter
task generate build
./bin/github_exporter -h

If you got Nix and Direnv configured you can simply execute the following commands to get al dependencies including go-task and the required runtimes installed. You are also able to directly use the process manager of devenv:

cat << EOF > .envrc
use flake . --impure --extra-experimental-features nix-command
EOF
direnv allow

To start developing on this project you have to execute only a few commands:

task watch

The development server should be running on https://localhost:9504. Generally it supports hot reloading which means the services are automatically restarted/reloaded on code changes.

If you got Nix configured you can simply execute the devenv command to start:

devenv up
