GitHub Repository Insights report documentation
Track GitHub activity, repository visibility, security alerts, and development throughput across teams and projects.
About this report
See the complete health and activity status of your GitHub repositories with unified metrics across multiple dimensions. Development teams gain visibility into open work, security alerts, and collaboration patterns to improve code quality and productivity.
Key questions
- What security vulnerabilities exist in our code repositories?
- How active are our GitHub projects?
- Are we staying on top of dependency security issues?
- How effective is our pull request review process?
Visualizations in the report
Open Pull Requests
Counts pending code changes awaiting review and merge. This visualization helps teams identify bottlenecks in their development workflow.
Open Issues
Shows the current backlog of reported bugs and feature requests. Track work items that need attention across your repositories.
Dependabot alerts by severity
Categorizes vulnerable dependencies by risk level. Prioritize remediation efforts on the most critical security issues first.
Open code scanning alerts by severity
Ranks static analysis findings by importance. Focus security efforts on the most dangerous code vulnerabilities.
Unique collaborators
Counts contributors active across your repositories. Measure project participation and community engagement.
Open vs closed issues over the last 90 days
Charts issue resolution efficiency over time. Track whether your team is keeping up with incoming work items.
Dependabot alerts opened/dismissed/fixed over the last 90 days
Shows dependency vulnerability handling trends. Measure your team's responsiveness to security findings.
Main language used
Identifies the primary programming language in each repository. Understand your codebase composition at a glance.
Repository visibility
Shows which codebases are public versus private. Ensure sensitive code isn't unintentionally exposed to the public.
Stale pull requests
Highlights code reviews that have been idle for too long. These pending changes might need additional attention to move forward.
