# A commit graph for legit
Friday, 15. August 2025


In a [previous post](https://raphting.dev/posts/legit/), I introduced 'legit', a fantastic git frontend, which is
now [hosted on legit](https://code.raphting.dev).

When checking repositories, I like to get a feeling for their commit activity. When was the last commit? How frequent
are commits? Am I looking at a repository that was once full of life and is being forgotten now?
It is a quick "sanity check" to align my expectations. Not perfect, but a good signal.

If you self-host legit, you can opt-out of showing the commit history graph (see Readme).
Only public repos are considered. Ignored and Unlisted repos are not part of the graph, so only information that is
public already will be revealed.
