Introducing the New GitHub Graphs

  • This is nice and all, but PLEASE fix the network graph! It's the most important one and it's the most useless at the moment.

    EDIT: Illustrated/Ranted about here: http://gun.io/blog/github-network-graph-is-broken/

  • I'm so angry at GitHub! They make me feel so unproductive. Somehow jealousy is always my first reaction when I see a new update from them.

  • Why is the traffic graph never working? I was excited to hear the graphs were updated and assumed the traffic graph would finally be working again, but no it is still "temporarily down."

  • d3 is pretty amazing. I think we'll see a huge jump in things built with it in the next few months.

  • (Careful with the link)

    This page https://github.com/torvalds/linux/graphs/impact freezes FF12 on W7/x64 for several seconds, and then FF asks if to continue running the script or if to stop it. Continuing re-freezes Firefox.

  • I built http://gitego.com a few months back to keep track of watchers, forks, size, and issues over time. I'm glad they're enhancing the code-related graphs. Stats for those would be much harder to gather externally.

    Edit: Looks like Metior was tracking code stats externally from GitHub as well http://metior.herokuapp.com/.

  • Anyone have any idea what they are using to build these graphs. Looks kinda like D3 but I'm not really sure.

  • I don't understand what Punchcard is showing... is it what day-of-the-week commits are pushed on?

  • GitHub used to have a graph that showed clones over time as well, but they took it out.

    In general, I wish GH had more data you could pull out about your repo through the API. That would allow me to track my own metrics.

  • Thanks for these, do appreciate the work so far.

    I was really hoping for a graph of commits as well though, ala git log --graph . I know the network graph is intended for this, but it fails pretty badly.

  • It looks like only commits on branch 'master' are reflected in these graphs.

  • Thank you Github! I was just hoping that the graphs would get updated. This gives me better oversight into who/what/where/when. Although perhaps a bug - my punch card graph is empty.

  • I've been hoping that they would add some more graphs. Looking at either how much impact (or lack of) I made in the last week is one of the tools that I use to keep to myself motivated

  • This is a huge improvement - especially the Contributors chart is plain awesome and they finally load fast. On the other hand I still don't see any sense in the Punchcard.

  • The new graphs are nice but this is a major step backwards. Page Views, Downloads are no longer there. This was very useful information.

  • GitHub Charts or GitHub Plots.

  • How do they have d3 charts in canvas?

  • Are you going to open source the graphs? I have a project they would be perfect for!

  • I just want a newsfeed that isn't useless =\. These graphs are nice, but there seems to be higher priority things to be fixing.
