This article guides you through the "Contributors" page in the devActivity application, a powerful tool for analyzing developer activity within your GitHub repositories. This page offers a visual representation of individual contributions over time, allowing you to identify top performers, track engagement trends, and gain valuable insights into your team's dynamics.
It can be enabled/disabled by Org Admin from Settings->General.
The "Contributors" page provides a comprehensive view of developer activity within a selected repository over a specified time period. It displays a stacked bar chart, where each bar represents a week and each segment within the bar represents the contributions of a specific individual. Hovering over a segment reveals the contributor's name and the number of contributions they made during that period.
