[BUG] Paginate commit search results for high-activity users

[drb101005]

Bug: Commit search only fetches the first page of results

While looking into some inaccurate contribution metrics, I noticed that fetchCommitSearch in route.ts (around line 53) only makes a single GitHub Search API request with per_page=100.

The problem is that GitHub search results are paginated, so for users with more than 100 matching commits we're only processing the first page of data. This causes several metrics to be undercounted or skewed, including:

• total commits
• most active repo
• active contribution days
• contribution deltas/trends

Proposed fix

Update fetchCommitSearch to paginate through all available search results instead of stopping after the first request.

Suggested approach:

• Request results with:
  • per_page=100
  • page=N
• Keep fetching pages until:
  • fewer than 100 items are returned
  • we've reached total_count
  • or we hit GitHub Search API's 1000-result cap
• Aggregate all returned items before returning the final response

Expected return shape should still look like:

{
  total_count,
  items
}

Hey @Priyanshu-byte-coder
Can i be assigned this Issue under GSSoC , Also let me know if you have any suggestions for the proposed fix

Hi @Priyanshu-byte-coder! I am a GSSoC '26 contributor and I would love to work on fixing this low contrast text issue on the landing page to improve UI/UX and accessibility.

My Fix Plan:

1. I will locate the landing page styling file and find the text elements with poor visibility.
2. I will update the color contrast ratios (text color vs background) to meet standard accessibility guidelines.
3. I'll test the responsiveness and readability across different screen layouts before opening a clean PR.

Could you please assign this issue to me? Ready to start right away!

Hi @Priyanshu-byte-coder

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC'26.

I understood that fetchCommitSearch currently fetches only the first page of GitHub Search API results, which causes inaccurate contribution metrics for users having more than 100 commits.

I can fix this by implementing proper pagination using:

• per_page=100
• page=n

and aggregating all fetched results while handling GitHub API limits and maintaining the existing response structure.

I’ll also test the fix properly to ensure accurate commit counts and contribution metrics.

Please assign this issue to me. Thank you!

Hi @drb101005 👋

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC'26.

I will fix the commit search pagination issue by implementing proper multi-page fetching for high-activity users. I’ll ensure all commit results are retrieved accurately while maintaining optimized API handling and performance.

Please assign this issue to me. 🚀
