Description: See your GitHub commits on your analytics chart to connect product updates with traffic and revenue changes.

# See GitHub commits driving traffic and revenue

See your GitHub commits directly on your analytics chart to understand which product updates move the needle.

## Connect product development to business results

- **Link features to revenue** - See which code changes correlate with sales increases
- **Find what moves the needle** - Identify which product updates drive the most engagement
- **Time your launches** - Spot patterns between releases and traffic spikes

## How it works

![DataFast's modal with GitHub commits](/blog-github-integration-datafast-details.jpg)

When you push commits to your connected repository, DataFast automatically displays them on your analytics chart. You'll see:

- Commit messages aligned with traffic and revenue data
- Author information and line changes (+/- stats)
- Branch names and timestamps
- Filters to focus on specific types of commits (e.g., `feat:`, `fix:`)

## Set up GitHub integration

![DataFast's settings to connect GitHub](/blog-github-integration-settings.jpg)

1. Go to your **[Website Settings](/dashboard) > Integrations**
2. Find the **GitHub** section
3. Click **Install GitHub App**
4. Select your repository from the dropdown
5. DataFast syncs your commit history automatically

### Requirements

- GitHub account (personal or organization)
- Admin access to the repository you want to track
- One repository per website

> DataFast requires minimal permissions to track commits. We don't even read the code, just the commit messages and a few metadata (see "What gets tracked" section).

## What gets tracked

- **Commit messages** - See what changed
- **Author info** - Who made the commit
- **Line changes** - +/- additions and deletions
- **Branch** - Which branch the commit is on
- **Timestamp** - When it was committed
