Getting noticed, but rough fundamentals could turn visitors away.
Is Parallel Programming Hard, And If So, What Can You Do About It?
A low grade is a to-do list, not a judgment of your code
Most gaps here are documentation, tests, and setup, not the code itself. Closing your top 3 gaps alone would lift this repo to D (64).
See your top fixesTop fixes
Highest-impact changes first, ranked by point weight
- 1Tests18pt
Add automated tests. They prove the code works and give contributors confidence to make changes.
- 2CI/CD14pt
If your CI lives elsewhere (a private repo that builds this one) or this project is itself a CI/CD tool, mark this check Not Applicable. Otherwise add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on each push. It takes 15 minutes and reassures contributors their changes won't break things.
- 3README12pt
Add a README.md describing what the project does, how to install it, and how to run it.
- 4Install and run instructions9pt
Add a section showing how to install dependencies.
Working through the fixes? Let every push regrade itself.
The free GitHub App rescans this repo on every push and posts the grade as a commit check, so the score climbs without coming back to rescan by hand.

No tests detected anywhere in the repository.
→ Add automated tests. They prove the code works and give contributors confidence to make changes.
No CI configuration detected in this repository.
→ If your CI lives elsewhere (a private repo that builds this one) or this project is itself a CI/CD tool, mark this check Not Applicable. Otherwise add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on each push. It takes 15 minutes and reassures contributors their changes won't break things.
No linter or formatter config found.
→ Add a linter config such as .eslintrc.json, .prettierrc, ruff.toml, or .golangci.yml to enforce consistent code style.
No issue or PR templates found (−100 pts).
→ Add .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ with bug_report.md and feature_request.md to guide contributors. It dramatically improves issue quality.
No dependency lockfile found (−70 pts).
→ Commit the lockfile for this project's package manager so installs produce the same dependency versions everywhere.
