Gitlights

What Gitlights is

Gitlights is a development contribution analysis tool. It tracks commits, pull requests and code reviews across GitHub, GitLab or similar platforms, and tries to show real individual contribution and collaboration context rather than counting lines of code.

What you can do with it

• See activity across repositories
• Find review backlogs and blocked work
• Understand delivery cadence
• Prepare weekly or project reviews

Who it is for

• Engineering managers
• Technical leads
• R&D teams with many parallel projects

What to watch out for

• It can provide reference data but is not suitable as the sole basis for performance assessment
• Much real work never appears in commits: design discussion, mentoring, incident response
• Teams should know what is measured and why
• Confirm supported platforms, permission scope and statistical definitions before adopting
