Developing locally

Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/cncf/devstats.git.
Checkout production branch (this is always a final working state on production machines).
Create branch from there.
If you want to createa PR, fork the repo instead of cloning and create PR from your fork.
Follow install instructions for your platform.
You don't need to have certbot SSL's, Apache proxy (it is only used to provide SSL and proxy to http Grafanas).
You don't need domain names, you can install locally and just test using "http://127.0.0.1:3001" etc.
You need to have GitHub OAuth token, either put this token in /etc/github/oauth file or specify token value via GHA2DB_GITHUB_OAUTH=deadbeef654...10a0 (here your token value).
If you want to use multiple tokens, create /etc/github/oauths file that contain list of comma separated OAuth keys or specify token values via GHA2DB_GITHUB_OAUTH=key1,key2,...,keyN
If you really don't want to use GitHub OAuth2 token, specify GHA2DB_GITHUB_OAUTH=- .This will force tokenless operation (via public API), it is a lot more rate limited (60 API points/h) than OAuth2 which gives 5000 API points/h.
GitHub OAuth token is only needed for ghapi2db and sync_issues tools.
