Getting Started with Orbit

Visit Orbit and create an account. You can sign up with GitHub, GitLab, or email.

Orbit works by reading your repository and CI pipeline data. Authenticate with your Git provider:

1. Click Connect repository on your dashboard
2. Select GitHub or GitLab
3. Authorize Orbit to read your repositories and CI logs
4. Select which repositories you want to track

Orbit will start pulling PR status, build health, and deployment data immediately.

Create teams in Orbit to group repositories and developers:

1. Click Teams in the sidebar
2. Create a new team and add team members
3. Assign repositories to the team

Now you'll see team-specific dashboards showing velocity and delivery health.

Once repositories are connected, visit the Dashboard. You'll see:

• Velocity — PRs merged per week (shows team throughput)
• Cycle time — Average time from PR open to merge
• Blockers — PRs with unresolved comments
• Deployment frequency — How often code ships

• Read about Orbit's Features to learn more
• Check the Roadmap to see what's coming
• Set up alerts for delivery blockers and velocity drops
