Stars
CompleteOrganic, confidence high
Bursts
- May 25, 2013 to May 29, 2013: about 178 more stars than usual, peak 121 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
- Jan 18, 2017 to Jan 20, 2017: about 110 more stars than usual, peak 64 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
- May 7, 2026 to May 11, 2026: about 635 more stars than usual, peak 277 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- 167 stars on a repo created before February 2013 have no date, so they aren't in the chart.
- 3 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 14, 2026).
Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.
- The star history looks organic.
- 167 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
