Stars

Organic, confidence high

Bursts

• Mar 25, 2014 to Mar 28, 2014: about 119 more stars than usual, peak 59 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Mar 10, 2020 to Mar 10, 2020: about 50 more stars than usual, peak 67 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Apr 24, 2020 to Apr 28, 2020: about 140 more stars than usual, peak 56 in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Nov 12, 2021 to Nov 13, 2021: about 56 more stars than usual, peak 56 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• May 15, 2024 to May 17, 2024: about 185 more stars than usual, peak 93 in one day, a flat block of stars. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Oct 29, 2024 to Nov 1, 2024: about 590 more stars than usual, peak 231 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post.
• Nov 4, 2024 to Nov 5, 2024: about 58 more stars than usual, peak 55 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Sep 22, 2025 to Oct 1, 2025: about 953 more stars than usual, peak 393 in one day, a shape we can't classify. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Oct 24, 2025 to Oct 25, 2025: about 85 more stars than usual, peak 85 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Jul 3, 2026 to Jul 4, 2026: about 201 more stars than usual, peak 161 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Aug 2, 2026 to Aug 2, 2026: about 62 more stars than usual, peak 71 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Sep 28, 2026 to Oct 1, 2026: about 148 more stars than usual, peak 62 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.

• 1.1k stars on a repo created before February 2013 have no date, so they aren't in the chart.
• 5 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.

• The star history looks organic.
• 1127 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
