{{< /details >}}

Repository analytics is part of GitLab Community Edition and is available to users with permission to clone the repository.

Use repository analytics to view information about a project's Git repository, such as:

• Programming languages used in the repository's default branch.
• Code coverage statistics for the last three months.
• Commit statistics for the last month.
• Number of commits per day of month, per weekday, and per hour.

Chart data processing

Data in the charts is queued. Background workers update the charts 10 minutes after each commit to the default branch. Depending on the size of GitLab installation and background job queues, it might take longer for data to refresh.
