Tracking the activity on your GitHub repository is key to understanding how your project is being accessed.
GitHub Insights offers a quick way to analyze clones and views, helping you identify trends and how often your repo is being cloned.
In this step-by-step guide, let’s checkout how to review this data with a demo to make it easy.
Steps to follow:
