How Reports Work

Your guide to navigating the GitHub Activity Dashboard

1

What You'll See

The dashboard displays all your GitHub commits organized by time periods. Each group shows the date range, which projects had activity, and how many commits were made. Click any group to see all the individual commits with their full messages.

  • Week Groups: Commits organized by week (Monday-Sunday)
  • Commit Details: SHA, message, author, date, and project
  • Quick Links: Click any commit to view it on GitHub
2

Filter by Date

Use the date range presets to quickly jump to common time periods, or set a custom date range using the date pickers.

  • This Week: Current Monday through today
  • Last Week: Previous full week
  • Last Month: Past 30 days
  • Last 3 Months: Past 90 days (default view)
  • Year to Date: January 1st through today
  • Custom: Pick any start and end date

💡 Tip

Switch to "Single Day" mode in Date Mode to find commits from a specific day.

3

Change Grouping

The "Group By" dropdown lets you organize commits into different time buckets:

  • Day: See commits for each individual day
  • Week: Group commits by week (default)
  • Month: Summarize activity by month
  • Year: High-level yearly overview
4

Filter by Project

Click the project checkboxes to show only commits from specific repositories. Selected projects appear as tags below the checkbox list. Click the × on any tag to remove that filter.

💡 Tip

Leave all projects unchecked to see commits from all repositories.

5

Search Commits

Use the search box to find commits containing specific text. The search looks through commit messages, author names, and repository names.

  • Search by keyword: "fix", "feature", "update"
  • Search by author: Your name or collaborators
  • Search by project: Repository name
6

Sort Results

Control how groups are ordered using the Sort By and Sort Order dropdowns:

  • By Date: Order groups chronologically
  • By Commit Count: Most or least active periods first
  • Newest/Oldest First: Reverse the sort direction
