Stars

Organic, confidence high

Bursts

• Mar 20, 2017 to Mar 23, 2017: about 135 more stars than usual, peak 63 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.

• Oct 11, 2021 to Oct 16, 2021: about 137 more stars than usual, peak 46 in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.

• 25 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.
• 25 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
