ouch, GitHub has just announced Traffic Analytics<p><a href="https://github.com/blog/1672-introducing-github-traffic-analytics" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/blog/1672-introducing-github-traffic-anal...</a>
As a founder of another service, <a href="http://bitdeli.com" rel="nofollow">http://bitdeli.com</a>, that provides analytics for GitHub, I would be curious to hear what kind of analytics would you like to get for your repos?<p>There are a number of GitHub-specific metrics that we could add, like being able to track the number of forks / stars.<p>We will be adding weekly email reports soon - what metrics would you like to see included?
Can everyone please just stop using google analytics<p>Webserver logs give you all the information you should want about how users look at your page, and don't violate your users' privacy by notifying a third-party advertising company about their browsing habits.
This is a cool hack taking advantage of Measurement Protocol, however please note that only the page with a rendered readme.md can work<p>e.g. this page won't work<p><a href="https://github.com/igrigorik/ga-beacon/tree/master/static" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/igrigorik/ga-beacon/tree/master/static</a>
This is great! I've started using this.<p>Since this is being hosted on appspot and you'd be proxying significant traffic - I think you would cross your limits soon.
