Hotfix Rates

Hotfix rates track how often your team ships emergency fixes relative to total merged PRs.

The Hotfix Rate card appears under Code Health on the Metrics Overview tab. Click the expand arrow to see individual hotfix PRs in a table with columns for PR title, repository, author, created date, days open, lines changed, and files changed.

ProgressCue identifies hotfixes using two methods:

  • Keywords — matched against PR titles (default: hotfix, hot-fix)
  • Labels — matched against PR labels (default: hotfix, hot-fix)

A PR is flagged as a hotfix if its title contains any keyword or it carries a matching label.

Update hotfix keywords and labels in Settings > PR Analysis under Hotfix keywords and Hotfix labels.
