Summary

GitHub has introduced a new feature in the “Graphs” tab, allowing users to visualize the relationships between repositories through a dependents graph. This tool is particularly useful for open source maintainers as it helps them understand the community connected to their projects and identify other projects that rely on their repositories, including both forks and non-fork dependencies. It provides a list of the latest repositories that depend on a user's repository and offers filtering options to differentiate between packages (other repositories that are gems) and applications (public repositories using the gem). Currently, this feature supports Ruby gems, with plans to extend it to other package ecosystems in the future, and detailed guidance is available in their help guide.
