It is a code repository management system for [git](https://git-scm.com/) with error tracking and a CI/CD pipeline. For more information on working with `git`, see [Getting started with Git](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/tutorials/quickstart-git.md). SourceCraft provides _basic features_ for comprehensive support of your open-source projects: * Public [repositories](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#repos) anyone on the web can view. * Options to [invite](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/security/invite.md) any user to your [organization](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#org) and assign them a [role](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/security/bind.md) to collaborate on a project. * [Forks](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#forks) that allow you to create a personal isolated copy of another repository and send [pull requests](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#pr) to the main project. * Public [issues](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#issues) for your project users to submit feedback, report bugs, and suggest new features. * [Importing and mirroring](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#repos-import) repositories from other systems to ensure reliability. * [SourceCraft Sites](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/sites.md) for free hosting of your open-source project website. * [Package](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#packages) management for streamlined distribution of your software. Apart from these basic features, SourceCraft offers the following tools you can use to develop and promote your open-source projects and community: * [Repository rating](#scoring) * [Personal achievements](#achievements) * [Grant program](#grants) ## Repository rating {#scoring} We use _scoring_ to rank public [repositories](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#repos) in our [list of top repositories](https://sourcecraft.dev/find/repositories) based on their significance to SourceCraft users. The score also affects eligibility for [grants](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/open-source.md#grants). Our scoring is multi-factorial, calculated relative to other public repositories in SourceCraft with account taken of user reactions and other factors, such as the popularity of imported repositories. The _score_ represents a repository's relative position within the overall list of public repositories as sorted by their score. For example, a score of 15% means the repository falls within the top 15% of all repositories. The lower the score, the higher the repository is ranked in the list. {% note info %} We are continuously improving our scoring algorithm to incorporate an even broader range of factors. {% endnote %} The following user reactions contribute to the overall score, with varying degrees of impact: * 👍 **Like**: Positive impact. * ❤️ **Love**: Advanced impact. * 💎 **Top**: Maximum impact. In general, the more reactions a repository receives, the higher its score will be. You can see the repository rating and the number of reactions on the repository home page. Here is an example: ![image](../../_assets/sourcecraft/scoring.png){width=315} On a separate page, you can also see your own reactions to repositories and filter the reactions by type. For more information, see [Ratings and reactions in a SourceCraft repository](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/repo-scoring.md). ## Personal achievements {#achievements} _Personal achievements_ show your activity in SourceCraft. For certain actions you complete, e.g., when you push a specific number of commits or review [pull requests](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/concepts/index.md#pr), you automatically get a unique badge generated by [YandexART](https://aistudio.yandex.ru/docs/en/ai-studio/operations/generation/yandexart-request-ui), which you can display on your SourceCraft profile. If your profile is public, your achievements will be visible to all SourceCraft users. For a complete list of achievements and details on how to get them, see the [achievements page](https://sourcecraft.dev/find/achievements). Here are some examples of achievements: ![image](../../_assets/sourcecraft/achievements.png) For more information, see [Personal achievements in SourceCraft](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/achievements.md). ## Grant program {#grants} SourceCraft offers grants for open-source developers in the form of free access to [Yandex Cloud](https://yandex.cloud) resources. Your eligibility for a grant depends on your [repository rating](#scoring) as well as your project’s relevance, impact, and a clear development plan. For more information, see [Yandex Open Source grant program](https://opensource.yandex/en/). #### Useful links {#see-also} * [Ratings and reactions in a SourceCraft repository](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/repo-scoring.md) * [Personal achievements in SourceCraft](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/achievements.md) * [Setting up repository privacy in SourceCraft](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/repo-privacy.md) * [Importing or mirroring a repository in SourceCraft](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/migration.md) * [Working with forks in SourceCraft](https://sourcecraft.dev/portal/docs/en/sourcecraft/operations/fork-work.md)
