Getting Started
Learn how to set up GitProductivity and start tracking your team's productivity.
Getting Started with GitProductivity
Welcome to GitProductivity! This guide will help you get up and running with our AI-powered developer analytics platform in just a few minutes.
Introduction
GitProductivity helps engineering teams measure real developer output by analyzing git metadata. Unlike simple commit counters, we estimate actual work delivered in workdays, giving you accurate insights into your team's productivity.
Our AI analyzes commit patterns, code complexity, file changes, and historical data to estimate the real work being delivered.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account
- Admin access to at least one repository
- A modern web browser with JavaScript enabled
Quick Start
Follow these steps to get started:
Sign Up for an Account
Visit our homepage and click Start Free to create your account. You can sign up with your GitHub, Google, or email account.
Connect Your First Repository
After signing up, you'll be guided to connect your first repository. Choose your Git provider and select the repositories you want to analyze.
We support GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket - both cloud and self-hosted versions!
Wait for Initial Analysis
Once connected, our AI will begin analyzing your repository data. Initial analysis typically takes 5-15 minutes depending on repository size.
Explore Your Analytics
Navigate to your dashboard to see:
- Team productivity metrics
- Individual developer statistics
- Workday estimates
- AI boost recommendations
Understanding Your Data
Workday Estimation
We estimate work delivered in workdays - a normalized unit that represents one developer's full day of work. This accounts for:
- Code complexity
- File changes
- Commit patterns
- Historical benchmarks
AI Boost
Our AI analyzes your team's potential productivity gain from using AI tools like:
- GitHub Copilot
- Cursor
- Claude Code
AI boost is an estimation based on code patterns and complexity, not a guarantee of productivity improvement.
Next Steps
Now that you're set up, explore these features:
- Connect more repositories
- Configure team settings
- Set up the API for custom integrations
