Activity and Repository Health

Activity & Repository Health

The Activity tab is a dashboard for a repository — useful for getting your bearings in a project you don't work in every day.

What's on it

• A stats strip summarizing the repository at a glance.
• A commit-activity heatmap (calendar style, similar to GitHub's contribution graph).
• A contributors chart and a commit-velocity chart.
• A file-churn list (which files change the most).
• A language breakdown.

Repository health

A dedicated card flags things worth knowing about:

• Branches that have gone stale (no activity past a configurable number of days)
• Commits you haven't pushed yet
• Whether your working tree is clean
• A warning if loose objects have built up past a threshold, suggesting it's time to clean up

Maintenance

Two actions live in the Nav Pane rather than the dashboard itself:

• Check integrity — runs Git's own consistency check (fsck) and reports back either "healthy" or the specific issues found.
• Run cleanup — runs garbage collection (gc) to tidy up the repository's storage.
