Hey Sri Lankan developers! 👋🇱🇰
Our local tech scene is full of talent, but we rarely see a public ranking that actually celebrates our open-source contributions. Until now.
Introducing DevRank LK — a brand-new, fully automated weekly leaderboard that ranks Sri Lankan GitHub developers based on real activity over the past 12 months.
How the Ranking Works
Every Sunday a GitHub Action runs and calculates a score using this transparent formula:
score = (commits × 3) + (PRs × 5) + (issues × 2) + (stars × 4) + (followers × 1)
No magic. Just pure GitHub data.
Live Leaderboard → https://ktauchathuranga.github.io/devrank-lk/
Current Top 5 (as of today)
- @sameerasw – 35,538 🔥
- @ktauchathuranga – 5,056
- @Minokainduwara – 1,691
- @Dineshs737 – 1,684
- @Pasindu-Jayasundara – 1,618
(Only 20 developers are listed right now — perfect time to get in early and climb the ranks!)

How to Join (Takes literally 2 minutes)

- Click Fork
- Open
data/users.json - Add your entry at the very end (before the closing
]), like this:

That’s it. Once your PR is merged you’ll appear in the next weekly update.
