Nice tip.

Since I've seen DRH ask about available features on GitHub since I started
lurking on this list recently,
I'd mention the graphs the latter provide which I find useful, in the
Insights tab of a project.
The Code Frequency [1] one seems to be since inception, while the Commit
[2] one is year-to-date.
I also like the per-user "map" that shows activity of a GitHub user, across
all projects, but there's
also a per-project page with contributor graphs [3], also since inception
it seems.

I find such graphs useful myself, FWIW. --DD
