GitPulse - GitHub Analytics Dashboard

GitHub Analytics Dashboard for CTOs, Tech Leads, and Curious Developers

🧭 What is GitPulse?

GitPulse is an open-source dashboard designed to analyze developer activity and contribution trends within a GitHub organization.

I started building it as a CTO because I couldn't find a tool that was simple and reliable enough to track the activity of my teams and products. GitPulse is a personal project, developed during my free time. It will evolve based on my availability and interests. Most GitHub/Git analytics tools focus on repository-level data. GitPulse lets you group multiple repositories into a single logical project — reflecting how real software is built and delivered. Perfect for tracking large apps, microservices, or monorepo-like architectures.

I'm currently building GitPulse solo, with no QA team. If you encounter bugs or unexpected behavior, contributions are welcome—as long as they stay aligned with the spirit of the project: useful, readable, and not overengineered.

✨ Key Features

🧩 Project-Level Aggregation: Group multiple repositories into a single product or initiative to track contributions, trends, and metrics across an entire software unit — not just per repo.

📊 Comprehensive Analytics: Track commits, pull requests, reviews, merges, and contributor activity.

👥 Developer Insights: Understand individual and team-level behaviors over time.

📈 Trend Analysis: Spot slowdowns, bottlenecks, or productivity shifts through contribution trends.

🔍 Repository Analytics: Dive into activity metrics and code quality signals per repository.

🛡️ Security Health Score: Advanced security metrics with CodeQL integration and vulnerability analysis.

⚡ Live GitHub Sync: Realtime updates powered by the GitHub API, no manual refresh.

🎯 Integrations: GitHub, Sonarqube and more to come
