Caution

Caution: star growth includes unexplained bursts.

Why

Star growth includes 15 unexplained bursts, about 12,496 stars above the usual rate (20 % of all stars). Anyone can buy stars for any repo. (source 1)

What would change this

A new star analysis that no longer finds unexplained bursts.
Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.)

6 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 13, 2026).

Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.

Unexplained bursts: stars arrived with no matching forks, issues, releases, or launch coverage.
