This API offers badges for the Hits-of-Code metric for your repositories. This metric was proposed by
Yegor Bugayenko as an
alternative to Lines-of-Code.
-Hits-of-Code Badges
+ Instead of counting the number of existing lines in a codebase, the number of modified lines is counted. That way, the metric can only grow and never shrink. While this metric still cannot give any information about the code quality, it gives an overview about the amount of work put into a codebase. -
There is a command-line tool to calculate the HoC of a repository, but some people might want a nice badge to put in their README, that's why I implemented this API. Currently the API can be used for GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket repositories. Just put the following code in your README: +
![Hits-of-Code](https://hoc.oldsql.cc/<service>/<user>/<repo>)-
where <service>
is one of github
, gitlab
or bitbucket
. So the
following Markdown
+
![Hits-of-Code](https://hoc.oldsql.cc/github/vbrandl/elm-chess)-
would render this badge: +
