GitHub Classroom automates repository creation and access control, making it easy for teachers to distribute starter code and collect assignments on GitHub.

GitHubRepository#number_of_commits

The `commits` method paginates to 30 commits.
As an alternative, we fetch the contribution stats for the
top 100 contributors, then sum the commits.
This isn't perfect, but it's better than our current approach which
shows 30 commits for anything with more than 30 commits.
