🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11 or higher
• Node.js 20 or higher
• A GitHub OAuth app
• A Groq API key

1️⃣ Create a GitHub OAuth App

Navigate to GitHub Developer Settings and create a new OAuth app:

• Homepage URL: http://localhost:5173
• Authorization callback: http://localhost:8000/auth/github/callback

Copy the Client ID and Client Secret.

2️⃣ Backend Setup

cd backend

python -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate        # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

cp .env.example .env

Configure .env:

DATABASE_URL = sqlite:///./clutch.db

SECRET_KEY = your-secret-key

ALGORITHM = HS256

ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES = 10080

GITHUB_CLIENT_ID = your_client_id

GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET = your_client_secret

GITHUB_REDIRECT_URI = http://localhost:8000/auth/github/callback

GROQ_API_KEY = your_groq_key

FRONTEND_URL = http://localhost:5173

ENVIRONMENT = development

Start the Backend:

uvicorn app.main:app --reload

The backend will run at http://localhost:8000. Documentation is available at http://localhost:8000/docs.

3️⃣ Frontend Setup

cd frontend

npm install

cp .env.example .env

Configure .env:

VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8000

Start the Frontend:

npm run dev

The frontend will run at http://localhost:5173.

4️⃣ CLI Setup

pip install myclutch

Or install locally from source:

cd cli
pip install -e .

Login (fully automatic — no token copy-pasting):

clutch login

Your browser opens, you authorize on GitHub, and the terminal automatically captures the token. Done.

To point the CLI at a local backend instead of the hosted API:

export CLUTCH_API_URL=http://localhost:8000
clutch login

Available Commands:

Command	Description
clutch login	Login via GitHub OAuth (automatic)
clutch logout	Logout and clear credentials
clutch whoami	Show logged-in user
clutch streak	Current and longest commit streak
clutch stats [--days N]	Activity stats for last N days
clutch heatmap [--weeks N]	Contribution heatmap for last N weeks
clutch repos	Most recently active repositories
clutch insight	AI-generated weekly insight
clutch patterns	Coding patterns and habits
clutch status	Login status and API health
clutch --version	Show CLI version
