GitHub Integration

PanDev Metrics integration with GitHub allows you to analyze development activity, pull requests, and automatically add quality metrics to code reviews.

Integration Features​

  • Automatic PR Comments — adding code quality metrics to pull requests
  • Repository Analytics — analysis of commits, branches, and contributors
  • Code Review Metrics — review time, number of comments, PR cycle time
  • Privacy — data is collected only from your repositories

Integration Setup​

Step 1: Create a Service Account​

Create a separate GitHub account that will be used to collect analytics and generate reports when creating/updating PRs.

Why use a service account?

A separate account allows you to distinguish automatic comments from personal ones and simplifies access management.
