How to read git-pulse
git-pulse is a team-health diagnostic, not a scoreboard. It reads pull requests, reviews and releases to show how work flows through your team — where it speeds up, where it waits, and where quality and process need attention.
The guarantees built into the tool
- Team and area rollups only — no panel names, ranks, or scores an individual.
- k-anonymity: when a group is too small to be anonymous, its data is suppressed rather than shown.
- Speed is always shown next to a quality counterweight, so a faster number is never read alone.
- Bots and service accounts are excluded from human-flow metrics, once, at ingest.
Each panel below explains what it measures, why it matters, how to read it, and the anti-blame note that keeps it safe to share. Use the "What's this? ↗" link on any panel to jump straight here.
The Settings page shows the thresholds behind these panels — three of them can be adjusted live.
