GitHub Metrics Dashboard

Stop losing your repository traffic data.

GitHub only shows views, clones, and referrers for the last 14 days. Want to see trends from last month? You can't.

This dashboard solves that.

What it does

• Archives everything – daily snapshots of views, clones, and referrers
• Stores forever – all data saved as CSV in your own private repo
• Generates charts – beautiful trend graphs using ruby-libgd (no JavaScript!)
• Runs automatically – GitHub Actions does the work daily
• Live dashboard – auto-deploys to GitHub Pages
