In this demo I show you how to get long term statistics in GitHub beyond the short history that is shown in the GitHub portal. With this demo you can see historical data for your GitHub repositories traffic and visualise that with Power BI or consume it in the tool of your choice. We store the data in a SQL Database in Azure and get the data from the GitHub API using a Logic App. This can be useful to see which of your repositories are popular, as well as finding out how many people are using your content and code. Instructions for this demo are at https://github.com/davedoesdemos/gith... if you want to try this for yourself.
