I have a small site representing a software hosted on github.io domain. I use Google Analytics. For the last week or so, I get this statistics at the user acquisition tab:                  VisitsDirect             96Social             10Organic Search     4 Referral           4 But I'm quite sure I'm getting most traffic from other sites, mostly the project repository on github.com. I think I am doing something wrong when working with the data. How do I see where the people came from and how many?
According to Google Analytics 80% of my visitors are direct, but I suspect that isn't true, what can I do?
google analytics;traffic;referrer
I guess your website is not https and since most traffic comes from github.com, which has https, the referrer will not be set.You can read it on the RFC pageA user agent MUST NOT send a Referer header field in an     unsecured HTTP request if the referring page was received with a     secure protocol.
