Stats about clones

[gleehokie]

Is it possible to graph the number of clones of a repo over time, similar to what is shown in the GitHub Insights graphs, but for longer periods of time than available on GitHub?

Hi @gleehokie. Thank you very much for the request.

AFAIK, we are only showing data retrieved by an old version Perceval.

We are currently updating to a new version: alpha.cauldron.io

But, it seems clones are not part of the data Perceval github backend retrieves:

Perhaps you can open an issue in Perceval to add a request for such data.
