Why

What would change this
- A second person takes a substantial share of commits.

Bursts

- Jan 14, 2015 to Jan 18, 2015: about 750 more stars than usual, peak 394 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post, a jump in forks.
- Feb 17, 2020 to Feb 26, 2020: about 185 more stars than usual, peak 34 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- Dec 2, 2020 to Dec 5, 2020: about 130 more stars than usual, peak 65 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- 1 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 14, 2026).
Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.
- The star history looks organic.
- 1 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
