Repository Analytics is part of [GitLab Community Edition](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss). It's available to anyone who has permission to clone the repository.
The feature requires:
- An initialized Git repository.
- At least one commit in the default branch (`master` by default).
## Overview
You can find Repository Analytics in the project's sidebar. To access the page, go to **{chart}** **Analytics > Repository**.
NOTE: **Note:**
Without a Git commit in the default branch, the menu item won't be visible.
### Charts
The data in the charts are updated soon after each commit in the default branch.
