Stars

Mostly organic, confidence high

Bursts

• Feb 2, 2015 to Feb 11, 2015: about 329 more stars than usual, peak 89 in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• May 2, 2018 to May 4, 2018: about 53 more stars than usual, peak 38 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Feb 9, 2019 to Feb 10, 2019: about 60 more stars than usual, peak 46 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests, a new release.

• 3.9k stars on a repo created before February 2013 have no date, so they aren't in the chart.
• 2 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.

• Some star bursts have no matching forks, issues, releases, or launch coverage.
• Anyone can buy stars for any repo, so this describes the star history only.
• 3864 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
