Are there any tools for viewing activity across multiple GitHub repos

Question

I'm interested in seeing the at a glance view across multiple Github repos. Something that can provide me a pulse of what is happening across the many micro-repos that make up a larger project. Are you aware of any good OS solutions to this?

Hey Tegan, are you looking for "pulse" that's more dev focused or ops focused?
There a few tools like Pluralsight Flow and Code Climate that focus on git specific metrics (e.g., time to merge, developer velocity, etc.)
On the ops side of things, if it's a bunch of repos feeding into a larger service, you may want to look at a service catalog offering. This kind of tooling shows what's running in production, who owns it, and how healthy it is. Open source offerings are Backstage (by Spotify) and Clutch (by Lyft). There are also SaaS options available like OpsLevel.

I developed this to get a quick look at all the Issues and PRs open across my various repositories. It helps me keep track of everything directly from the command line. Hopefully it can help you!

It's open-sourced so if it doesn't exactly fit your needs, just open an issue and we'll look into adding to it (or you can submit a PR yourself).

If you're looking at the ops level to oversee a project (which is sounds like you are), Haystack might be a good option:https://www.usehaystack.io/

I assume watching the repositories you want to monitor and checking your Github feed on the homepage is not working for you. If so, what exactly is missing?
