What you can measure

  • Commit activity, contributors, and code churn

  • Pull request throughput, merge times, and open PR counts

  • Issues opened, closed, and average close time

  • Deployments, workflow failures, and release activity

  • Organisation roll-ups (repos, stars, open PRs) when using org-scoped tokens

Connection type

  • PAT - paste a GitHub fine-grained token; Elevale validates before saving.
