Body

As a maintainer, I regularly check the Traffic section of GitHub Insights to understand how developers interact with my repositories.
The existing graphs (Views, Unique Visitors, Clones, Unique Cloners) are extremely helpful, but they lack one key dimension: geographical distribution.

I suggest adding a fifth graph to the Traffic dashboard, positioned after Clones and Unique Cloners, called “Clones by Country”.

This graph would display:

• the date of each clone
• the country it originated from
• aggregated counts per country over the selected period

Why adding this feature?

• Maintainers could better understand their global audience.
• Open‑source contributors could identify regions where documentation or localization might be valuable.
• Developers could track whether outreach efforts (blog posts, tutorials, conference talks) have impact in specific regions.

To make the feature flexible, a simple toggle could switch between:

Graph view (bar chart or line chart) and List view (chronological table with date + country + clone count)

Feature Request: Add “Clones by Country” to Traffic Insights

As a maintainer, I frequently rely on the Traffic section in GitHub Insights to understand how people interact with my repositories. The existing metrics—Views, Unique Visitors, Clones, and Unique Cloners—are incredibly useful for tracking engagement.

That said, one important dimension is missing: geographic context.

What I’d love to see

It would be really valuable to have an additional graph in the Traffic dashboard, placed after the Clones metrics, called:

“Clones by Country”

This feature could display:

• The date of each clone
• The country of origin
• Aggregated clone counts per country over the selected time range

---

Why this matters

Adding geographic insights would unlock a lot of value for maintainers and contributors:

• Better understanding of global reach
  Maintainers could see where their users are coming from and identify regions of strong or growing interest.

• Improved accessibility and localization
  Open-source contributors could decide where translations or region-specific documentation would have the most impact.

• Measure outreach effectiveness
  It would be easier to track whether blog posts, tutorials, or talks are reaching audiences in specific regions.

---

Suggested UI approach

To keep the feature flexible and easy to use, a simple toggle could switch between:

• Graph view (bar chart or line chart)
• List view (chronological table with date, country, and clone count)

---

Overall, this would be a small addition with a significant impact, making GitHub’s traffic analytics more complete and globally insightful.
