Trace any GitHub user, org, or repo and map real contribution activity: pull requests, merge rates, review speed, and the trails developers leave behind.
No login needed. Try torvalds or vercel/next.js.
Waypoint reads the same public data you can, then does the aggregation GitHub never surfaces.
Star counts and follower numbers say nothing about who actually keeps a project alive day to day.
A developer’s real effort is spread across dozens of repos, issues, and pull requests you never see in one place.
Whether a repo truly ships community PRs stays invisible until you dig through every pull request by hand.
Waypoint separates a developer’s pull requests by outcome, so the real merge rate is right there instead of buried in a list.
Point it at a name and it does the reading, the counting, and the ranking for you in one pass.
Four views over the same public data, each one answering a question GitHub leaves open.
Every pull request a developer has opened, how many merged, and their true merge rate across their whole public history.
↗ github-waypoint.vercel.app/torvaldsFor any repo: merge rate on decided PRs, average days to merge, and how fast the community actually ships.
↗ github-waypoint.vercel.app/vercel/next.jsSearch an org and Waypoint surfaces its most active repos and the people who genuinely keep them moving.
↗ github-waypoint.vercel.app/vercelFollow a developer across repositories, issues, and PRs, ranked by where they put in real, sustained effort.
↗ github-waypoint.vercel.app/sindresorhusDetails you will appreciate every trace.
Open the site and trace. Nothing to sign up for.
Optional PAT lifts the rate limit to 5,000 requests an hour.

One search box handles all three kinds of target.
Pull any repo’s pull request data out for your own analysis.
Measured over decided PRs, never padded by the ones still open.
MIT licensed and self-hostable from the GitHub repo.
Every trace is a plain, linkable, indexable route.
The same analysis as one command. Pipeable, scriptable, and instant once cached. One install, zero dependencies.
$ npm install -g github:iammdzaidalam/waypoint-cliExplore the CLI →GitHub Waypoint (github-waypoint.vercel.app) is a free GitHub activity tracer. Enter any username, organization, or owner/repo and it maps where that developer or project actually spends time: pull requests opened, merge rates, review speed, and the repositories they contribute to most.
Yes. Waypoint is free and open source. It reads public GitHub data through the official GitHub API, and you can self-host it from the GitHub repository if you prefer.
No login is required. Adding an optional personal access token raises the GitHub API rate limit from 60 to 5,000 requests per hour. The token is stored only in your browser and never leaves it.
It varies by project, but for active open source repositories a merge rate above 70 percent of decided pull requests usually signals healthy maintenance. Waypoint computes merge rate from merged versus closed PRs so you can compare projects at a glance.
Yes. Searching an organization shows its most active repositories and likely maintainers. Searching owner/repo shows pull request analytics: merge rate, average days to merge, label distribution, and top contributors.
No login. No setup. Point Waypoint at any GitHub user, org, or repo and read the real story.
