Repository
Issue Activity

Understand how GitGenius turns indexed GitHub issues into backlog-health summaries, recent activity views, and per-issue timelines.

Overview

GitGenius exposes issue insights in two layers. First, each repository page includes an Issue Activitysummary for a quick read on backlog health. Second, each repository's dedicated /issues page expands that summary into trends, filters, and issue-level history.

The feature is designed to help you move from a high-level repository snapshot into concrete issue investigation without leaving the app.

Repository page Issue Activity summary

On repository pages, the Issue Activity section gives you a compact overview of backlog health before you open the full issues explorer.

MetricWhat it highlights
Open issuesThe current number of open issues in the repository backlog.
New in 7 daysRecently opened issues so you can spot incoming volume quickly.
Closed in 7 daysThe amount of recent issue resolution activity.
Average open ageA backlog-age signal that helps identify slow-moving issue queues.
Stale 30+ / 90+ daysLong-open issues that may need triage, updates, or closure.
Top labelsCommon themes in the current backlog and recent issue distribution.

What the /issues page adds

The 14-day trend table shows opened, closed, comments, events, and open backlog counts by day.

The This week panel totals opened issues, closures, comments, and issue events for quick activity checks.

The Top labels panel lets you jump straight into a label filter by clicking a label chip.

The explorer supports state and label filters, full-text search across titles and bodies, and sorting by updates, creation date, comments, reactions, or issue age.

Issue detail panel

Overview

Summarizes issue state, author, created and updated times, last activity, comments, reactions, lifecycle age, labels, and the full issue description.

Timeline

Shows indexed events such as state changes, label changes, title edits, and comments so you can reconstruct what happened on the issue.

History

Shows recent daily snapshots with issue state, comments added, events added, reactions, and lifecycle days to reveal how the issue changed over time.

How to use it

  1. Start on a repository page and scan the Issue Activity summary for stale backlog, label concentration, and recent activity.

  2. Open the repository's /issues page when you need filters, trends, or a searchable backlog view.

  3. Open an issue row to inspect the Overview, Timeline, and History tabs before deciding whether the issue needs triage, follow-up, or closure.
