How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerDaily morning schedule
  • ActionFetch trending repos from GitHubGitHubGitHub
  • ActionRead prior snapshot rows from BigQueryGoogle BigQueryBigQuery
  • LogicCompute star/fork velocity vs last snapshot
  • ActionAppend timestamped rows to BigQueryGoogle BigQueryBigQuery
  • OutputConfirm rows written for the run

What it does

Captures a daily point-in-time snapshot of GitHub-trending repositories and lands it in BigQuery so you can chart momentum over weeks instead of guessing from a single day's leaderboard. Each run records stars, forks, language, and the delta since the last snapshot.

When to use it

Run this when you want a durable, queryable history of OSS momentum — feeding dashboards, investor memos, or competitive-landscape SQL — rather than eyeballing the GitHub trending page each morning.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires each morning at a fixed hour.
  2. 2A GitHub action fetches the current trending repositories with stars, forks, and primary language.
  3. 3A logic step reads each repo's most recent prior row from BigQuery and computes star and fork velocity (delta over hours elapsed).
  4. 4A logic filter drops repos with no measurable change to keep the table clean.
  5. 5A BigQuery action appends one timestamped row per repo into the snapshots table.
  6. 6The output step confirms row counts written for the run.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  2. 2
    Connect BigQueryDatasets, queries, schemas.
  3. 3
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
