# GitHub

> Track repository activity — stars, PRs, commits, and issue velocity.

Track repo growth, development velocity, and community activity over time.

<Info>

</Info>

## Prerequisites

* **Personal Access Token** (optional) — Go to [GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens). A token increases the rate limit from 60 to 5,000 requests per hour. Not required for public repos.

## Configuration

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Cloud">
    Go to **Settings → Integrations → GitHub** and enter your token (optional) and the repositories you want to track.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="CLI">
    ```toml theme={null}
    [[plugins]]
    name = "github"
    entity = "your-org/your-repo"
    config.token = "${GITHUB_TOKEN}"
    ```

    The token is optional for public repositories. You can track multiple repos by adding multiple `[[plugins]]` entries.
