# Activity

## Overview

The Activity page lends visibility into a repository's history of commits, pull requests, and issues. You can refer to the Activity page to keep track of important activity occurring in your repository:

* Number of commits
* Contributing authors
* Number of merged and open pull requests
* Number of closed and open issues
* Historical timeline of events

## Managing Activity

To view the Activity for a repository, navigate to that repository and select the *Activity* tab. The *Period Selector* will default to showing you activity throughout the past year.
