GitKraken Insights is a powerful tool that helps you visualize how pull requests are merged into your repositories. It provides a visual representation of your repository’s history, allowing you to see how your codebase has evolved over time. You can use this information to make informed decisions about how to improve your workflow.
Insights is available for Github.com, Bitbucket.org, Gitlab.com, and Azure DevOps (Hosted).
Note: Insights is in Preview mode, and we’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Just click on the “Feedback” button in the top right to tell us what you think.
How do I use GitKraken Insights?
Insights can be accessed from gitkraken.dev/insights.
In order to work with Insights, you will need to:
- Connect an integration from gitkraken.dev/settings/integrations
- And create a Cloud Workspace from gitkraken.dev/workspaces
Once you have done both, you will be able to filter by a workspace to see the Insights for the repositories in that workspace. You can also filter by date range.
Filtering by 14 days is available for Teams subscriptions and filtering by 28 days is available for Enterprise Subscriptions.
Note: When using Insights, we will attempt to add webhooks to your workspace repositories in order to reduce API calls and improve data performance.
Metrics
Insights offer the following metrics. You can also hover over the icon to see a description of the metric.

- Average Throughput: Measures the average number of pull requests merged for the selected timeframe.
- Merge Rate: The percentage of merged pull requests compared to open pull requests for the selected timeframe.
