About this data

This page tracks the variety of URL protocols found within the CONTRIBUTING.md files of open-source projects. These files are the gateway for new contributors, and the protocols used can show how projects link to important resources or communicate with their community.

We analyse the average number of unique URL protocols (like http, https, ftp, mailto) per file and the percentage of CONTRIBUTING.md files that exclusively use HTTPS links. This helps us understand common practices and potential trends in how projects guide their contributors.

By examining these patterns, we can gain insights into the security and resource linking strategies employed by open-source projects. This data is collected from a broad sample of publicly available open-source repositories.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

While 'CONTRIBUTING.md' files and general open-source diversity metrics are tracked, there is no evidence of a publicly available tracker or dataset specifically analyzing URL protocol diversity within these files.

Uniqueness score 1.00 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
