GitHub has introduced a new Activity View feature in beta, giving developers better insight into pushes and pull request mergers from other users in a repository. This overview is available to any user logged into the specific repository, and provides information about the activities of individual developers or industries in the repository. Users can filter the activities in the overview by type of activity, industry, or end user, and view details about the incoming branch name for a pull request and what it solves. The feature has received mixed reactions from GitHub end users, with some seeing it as the last thing missing from the platform, while others are more doubtful of its usefulness or even see it as a dangerous option.
