How to Create an Insights Link for a GitHub Repository

Published on February 8, 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal

First off, what's a GitHub repo "insights link?" It's a shareable link that takes the recipient to a GithubTracker page packed with stats and charts for the given repository.

How to get the link?

GitHub

Simply squeeze tracker into any GitHub repository URL. Voilá!

// Repository
https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt
// Repository Insights
https://githubtracker.com/nuxt/nuxt

GithubTracker

Open the details page of repository stored in any of your GithubTracker collections and copy the respective browser URL.

The links have the following structure:

https://githubtracker.com/{owner}/{repo}

Piece it together

If you know the ower and name of a repository you can also just take the above URL and replace {owner} with the username of the account hosting the repository and {repo} with the repository name. Those are always the same as in the GitHub URL of the repository.


Easy as that!

Here's what's on the other end of such a link:

GithubTracker repository details for nuxt/nuxt

That's it, give it a try and start sharing!
