Show HN: Devthropology – Better Insights for GitHub Repos

A developer has built Devthropology, a GitHub analytics tool that treats pull request data like an anthropological study of how work actually moves through a codebase. According to Hacker News, it's positioned as a faster, more detailed alternative to GitHub's native Insights page. Key features include a file explorer that traces complete file histories by tracking renames and moves, a trends analyzer that measures whether AI is helping developers ship faster and bigger, and a contributor relationship graph that maps collaboration patterns. The tool is designed to surface insights into code velocity and team dynamics — particularly revealing patterns in how AI may be changing development speed and review cycles.
