Description
Fixes NameError caused by undefined 'response' variable in GitHub API error handling.

Changes Made

  • Replaced undefined response variable with correct status_code parameter in error handling
  • Fixed type mismatch in fetch_repo_contributors function (returning List[Dict] instead of int)
  • Improved error handling with proper empty list returns
  • Used named parameters in requests.get() for code clarity

Issues Fixed

Technical Details

  • Before: elif response.status_code == 404: (caused NameError)
  • After: elif status_code == 404: (correct variable reference)
  • Function fix: fetch_repo_contributors now returns actual contributor data instead of count

Testing

  • Verified GitHub API calls work correctly
  • Confirmed proper error handling for 404 and other status codes
  • Tested contribution counting with actual repository data
