Currently, DORA metrics (e.g., Lead Time for Changes, Deployment Frequency) are calculated primarily from deploy branches. However, some customers want visibility across the entire development lifecycle, including feature, hotfix, and support branches.

We’re extending support to multiple branch types so teams can track the full development flow — not just production deployments.

Key Enhancements:

Track Activity Across All Branches:

Includes feature branches, release branches, bugfix/hotfix branches, and long-running dev branches.

Full-Cycle DORA-like Metrics:

Get insights into Lead Time, Change Volume, and Activity Density across the whole Git workflow — not just deploys.

Custom Branch Filters:

Teams can define which branches to include or exclude based on naming conventions or labels (e.g., feature/).

Why it Matters:

Offers a complete view of the development process, especially for teams not deploying daily.

Improves understanding of effort spent pre-deployment (e.g., reviews, merges, testing).

Helps detect bottlenecks in feature development, not just in release cycles.

User Value:

This update enables more accurate benchmarking and holistic process analysis — aligning better with modern branching strategies used in GitFlow and trunk-based development alike.
