Section B.2 Commit History
On the home page (Code tab) for all repositories a commit history can be found, full with contributor usernames, commit messages, and links to further information. Directly above the list of files, you can find information on the most recent commit. At the right side of this area is a clock icon with an arrow circling counterclockwise followed by a number of commits (See Figure B.2.0.1). This is the total number of commits to that repository.
Clicking on this will give you more information on how often someone updates a repository and how many people do so. You are also able to see past branch names. Clicking on a specific commit will bring to a page with the files changed and any comments that were made.
Not everyone will be interested in this feature, but it is useful to know it is there should you want to take advantage of it.
