Add Google Analytics to Github wiki pages

Question

I have a couple of Github projects that I want to be able to track the traffic to. I have done this in the past by adding Google Analytics tracking code to each wiki page. However, the Github wiki upgrade in September broke this and I don't seem to be able to add Javascript code to my wiki pages anymore.

A couple of random other points: 1) I'm aware that Github probably blocked JS on the wiki for security reasons. 2) I know Github provides its own very basic traffic graph but I would like all the power of GA.

Is there any way for me to restore Google Analytics tracking to my Github wiki? If not, is there an alternative?

Answer 1

You could leverage the Google Analytics for Mobile strategy.

The draw backs are that :

• You would only be able to manually publish static image urls in for each wiki page.
• You would need to host the Google Analytics for Mobile server-side file on another server. Somewhat negating the whole exercise.

Answer 2

Lately, the "Traffic" feature is unavailable. In order not to implement something of your own, I have created githalytics.com which let you "add" google analytics to your github repository. Of course there are limitations and drawbacks as mentioned before. Free free to check
