Repository Analytics Overview
GitPulse provides comprehensive analytics for individual repositories, helping you understand code quality, development patterns, and security posture.
Repository Dashboard
The repository detail page offers a complete view of your codebase health and development activity. Each repository displays key metrics organized into intuitive sections:
Key Metrics Sections
Security Health Score (SHS)
Advanced security metrics using CodeQL integration to evaluate vulnerability density and severity.
- Real-time Security Assessment: Continuous monitoring of security posture
- Vulnerability Analysis: Critical, High, Medium, and Low severity tracking
- Trend Monitoring: Security improvement or deterioration over time
- Size-Normalized Scoring: Fair comparison across repositories of different sizes
Code Quality Metrics
SonarCloud integration provides comprehensive code quality analysis:
- Maintainability: Code complexity and technical debt assessment
- Reliability: Bug density and reliability rating
- Security: Security hotspots and vulnerabilities
- Coverage: Test coverage percentage
Development Activity
Track commit patterns and developer contributions:
- Commit Frequency: Development rhythm and consistency
- Developer Activity: Individual and team contribution patterns
- Activity Trends: Peak development times and patterns
- Contribution Distribution: Files and areas of focus
Repository Size Analysis
KLOC (Kilo Lines of Code) tracking:
- Current Size: Total lines of code in the repository
- Historical Tracking: Size evolution over time
- Growth Patterns: Repository expansion trends
