Stars

Mostly organic, confidence high

Bursts

• Jun 20, 2013 to Jun 20, 2013: about 56 more stars than usual, peak 57 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
• Dec 1, 2015 to Dec 4, 2015: about 636 more stars than usual, peak 316 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Jan 3, 2017 to Jan 8, 2017: about 425 more stars than usual, peak 210 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Jul 2, 2017 to Jul 3, 2017: about 53 more stars than usual, peak 50 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Dec 21, 2017 to Dec 22, 2017: about 269 more stars than usual, peak 204 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.

• Mar 29, 2021 to Apr 2, 2021: about 497 more stars than usual, peak 178 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Nov 10, 2021 to Nov 12, 2021: about 693 more stars than usual, peak 554 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.

• 2 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.

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