-
First step, setting up. Opening the website Google Analytics to create an account and setting up a property.

Second step, configuration. After setting up the property, we can get the tracking code in the field “Tracking Info”. In order to get all information about the website, we should add tracking code into each webpage we want to track. In my case, I add tracking code into the configuration file so that it can track all webpage automatically.

$ git status -s
$ git add XXX(configuration file name)
$ git status -s
$ git commit -m ‘add Google Analytics tracking code’
$ git push origin master- Third step, logging in Google Analytics, checking all dashboards in the field “Report”.
