Getting Started Issues

Can't connect my GitHub account

If you're having trouble connecting your GitHub account to DevLyTicks:

Check GitHub status: Visit githubstatus.com to ensure GitHub services are operational
Clear browser cache: Sometimes cached OAuth tokens cause issues. Clear your browser cache and try again
Check organization permissions: Ensure your GitHub organization has granted access to DevLyTicks in Settings → Applications
Try incognito mode: Open an incognito/private window to rule out browser extension conflicts

Repository sync is taking too long

Repository synchronization time depends on size and history:

Expected sync times:
  • • Small repos (<100 commits): 2-5 minutes
  • • Medium repos (100-1,000 commits): 5-15 minutes
  • • Large repos (1,000-10,000 commits): 15-45 minutes
  • • Very large repos (>10,000 commits): 45min-2 hours
If sync is stuck:
  1. Check repository status page for errors
  2. Look for API rate limit messages (resets hourly)
  3. Try manual re-sync after 5 minutes
  4. Contact support if stuck > 1 hour

I don't see all my repositories

If some repositories are missing from your list:

Re-authorize GitHub: Go to Settings → Integrations → GitHub → Re-authorize to refresh repository list
Check organization access: Organization admins must grant DevLyTicks access to private repos
Verify your GitHub permissions: You need at least read access to a repository to analyze it
Metrics & Data Issues

My DORA metrics show "No data"

DORA metrics require specific configurations:

Deployment Frequency:
  • • Configure deployment detection in Settings → DORA Metrics
  • • Use GitHub Releases, tags (v*), or webhook integration
  • • Need at least 1 deployment in last 30 days
Change Failure Rate:
  • • Label incidents with incident or hotfix
  • • Tag PRs that are rollbacks or emergency fixes
See our guide: DORA Metrics Setup →

Contributor stats seem incorrect

Several factors can affect contributor statistics:

Email matching: DevLyTicks matches contributors by email. Ensure your team members use the same email in Git and DevLyTicks
Historical data: Initial sync only includes last 90 days. Upgrade to Pro for full history
Bot commits: Commits from bots (dependabot, renovate) are filtered out. You can disable this in Settings
Manual refresh: Try clicking "Sync Now" on the repository to refresh contributor data

Test coverage shows 0% but we have tests

Test coverage requires specific configuration:

Coverage reports: DevLyTicks reads coverage from CI/CD artifacts. Configure your CI to upload coverage reports
Supported formats: lcov, cobertura, JaCoCo, clover
GitHub Actions example:
- uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3
  with:
    file: ./coverage/lcov.info
Integration Issues

Slack notifications not working

If you're not receiving Slack notifications:

Check connection: Go to Settings → Integrations → Slack and verify status is "Connected"
Verify channel: Ensure DevLyTicks bot is invited to the target channel
Test notification: Click "Send Test Alert" in Slack settings to verify
Re-authorize: If still not working, disconnect and reconnect Slack integration

Webhook returns 401 Unauthorized

Webhook authentication issues:

Check secret: Verify webhook secret in Settings matches your endpoint configuration
Signature validation: DevLyTicks signs webhooks with HMAC-SHA256. Ensure correct validation
Check headers: Ensure X-DevLyTicks-Signature header is validated
Performance Issues

Dashboard is loading slowly

If your dashboard takes a long time to load:

Reduce date range: Loading 1 year of data is slower than 30 days. Start with shorter periods
Filter repositories: Analyzing 50 repos at once is resource-intensive. Focus on specific repos
Browser cache: Clear browser cache and reload. DevLyTicks caches data for faster subsequent loads
Check network: Slow internet connection affects load times. Try a different network

API rate limit exceeded

If you see "API rate limit exceeded" errors:

GitHub rate limits: GitHub API has rate limits (5,000 requests/hour authenticated). DevLyTicks respects these
Wait and retry: Rate limits reset every hour. Wait 10-15 minutes and try syncing again
Premium limits: Upgrade to Pro or Enterprise for higher rate limits and priority queue

Can I export my data?

Yes! Export to CSV, JSON, or PDF from any view. API access available on Pro and Enterprise plans for automated exports.

Do you support GitLab or Bitbucket?

DevLyTicks is web-based and fully responsive. Access it from any device via your browser at app.devlyticks.com. Mobile apps (iOS/Android) are planned for 2026 Q4.

Can contributors see everyone's metrics?

You control visibility via Settings → Permissions:
