Graph not generating - stuck on "Analyzing repository"

[BittuChan]

Hi,
I'm trying to generate a code review graph for my team's private repo, but it gets stuck on "Analyzing repository..." and never completes.
The repo has around 2,500 commits and 15 contributors. I've verified my GitHub token has the correct permissions (repo access).

Running it locally via:

npm install
npm start

Console shows no errors, just hangs indefinitely. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Hey @BittuChan , The issue is usually one of two things:

1. Rate limiting - If you're on a personal GitHub token, you might be hitting API rate limits. Check with:
   curl -H "Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN" https://api.github.com/rate_limit
   If you're near the limit, wait an hour or use a token with higher limits.

2. Large commit history - For repos with 2000+ commits, the initial analysis can take 10-15 minutes. It's not stuck, just slow. Check your terminal/console for any fetch progress logs.

Try running with verbose logging if available, or check the network tab in DevTools to see if GitHub API calls are still happening.
Also, make sure you're not hitting any firewall/proxy issues if you're on a corporate network.

hey @Shiven0504, thanks for pointing it out, it was the rate limit! I checked and was at 2/5000 remaining. Waited about 30 minutes and tried again - graph generated in around 8 minutes.

Didn't realize analyzing that many commits would burn through the API quota so fast. Good to know for next time.
Thanks for the quick help!
