Is there a way to get download/clone statistics of a git repository?

Question

Is there any way to get how many times a git repository has been cloned or downloaded from github? I was just curious as I found other statistics such as commit times lines

Answer 1

I just find out there is an even simpler way to get it with a single command using the github API.

curl -u [username]:[password] https://api.github.com/repos/[owner]/[repo]/traffic/clones

here:

username  = your github id
password  = your github password, optional. If not put in command, a password request would pop out.
owner     = the owner of the repo, might be another name for a organized repo
repo      = the repo name

Have fun.
