Administration
Exclusions, bot patterns, and working-week duration for delivery metrics. PRs count when their base branch is the repo default (e.g. main), a release/* line, or extra per-repo patterns—not merges into develop-only lines.
Bot authors, excluded PR numbers, titles, and branch patterns per repository.
Default: [bot], dependabot, renovate, github-actions, snyk-bot, imgbot, greenkeeper, codecov, semantic-release, mergify, copilot, copilot-swe-agent
Global: 123 or #123. Per repo: org/repo#456 or repo-name#456 (tracked repo name or full name).
Case-insensitive regex; invalid patterns are treated as literal substrings. Example: ^Revert , cherry-pick
Control which PR risk signals appear in attention and quality metrics.
Turn off PR risk rules your team does not track. Disabled rules are omitted from the Attention inbox, PR activity badges, and related quality metrics.
After saving, run a metrics recompute from Settings → Background processing to refresh cached snapshots.
Define which hours count toward elapsed cycle-time calculations.
Cycle, pickup, and review times exclude weekends by default so metrics reflect Mon–Fri delivery (same idea as LinearB). DORA lead time, deploy time, and production recovery stay on 24/7 clock time.
Active: Mon–Fri hours (America/Toronto)
