It's time to solve the riddle

Tools we need before starting

Install pip

$python3 -m ensurepip

Create a virtualenv and activate it

$ python3 -m venv fossmeet
$ source fossmeet/bin/activate

Install requests python module

$ python3 -m pip install requests

It's time to follow next steps

Here is the github contributions API url https://api.github.com/repos/python/cpython/stats/contributors

[1.] Create a github token to access github API by following this link: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new

[2.] Copy the token store it safely in a file

[3.] Create a file name github_repo_contributors.py

[4.] Create first function which will ask for your github username and token and return it as a tuple.

[5.] Import requests module, then use requests.get method to call the github API and then store the response * check the response status code if it is not 200 then raise exception with proper message. * If you get the response code == 200 then use json module and dump response data in contribution.json

[6.] Since we have data now, create another function which will return contributors name and their contributions

[7.] Procced with first top 10 contributors name

[8.] Print the no. of contributors with same commit.
