# Introduction

GitDash turns your GitHub Actions runs and pull requests into delivery metrics — DORA, reliability, cost and team health — on infrastructure you run yourself. It reads GitHub with each person's own token, so nobody sees more than GitHub already lets them see.

![Repositories: every repository with status, success rate, recent runs and p95 duration](https://www.gitdash.info/screenshots/repos.jpg)

📊

### Delivery metrics

DORA four keys per repository, pull-request cycle time, workflow reliability and performance, with drill-downs down to a single step.

### Alerts that explain themselves

Rules on CI and people metrics, delivered in the browser, by email or to Slack, plus a weekly leadership digest.

👥

### Team health

Reviewer load, bus factor, workload risk and a one-click 1:1 prep sheet — framed as conversation starters.

🔐

### Access you control

In organization mode an admin decides which groups see which features, and the server enforces it.

## Two ways to run it

| Mode | Use it when |
| --- | --- |
| `standalone` | You want your own dashboard: sign in with a personal access token, no OAuth App or database needed. |
| `organization` | A team shares one deployment: GitHub OAuth or token sign-in, a Postgres database, groups and permissions, alerts and reports. |

See Auth modes for the full comparison.
