Stars

Mostly organic, confidence medium

Bursts

• Jun 24, 2013 to Jun 25, 2013: about 62 more stars than usual, peak 54 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Feb 6, 2014 to Feb 7, 2014: about 51 more stars than usual, peak 44 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• May 5, 2020 to May 7, 2020: about 125 more stars than usual, peak 75 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
• May 12, 2022 to May 15, 2022: about 157 more stars than usual, peak 61 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Feb 5, 2026 to Feb 6, 2026: about 108 more stars than usual, peak 96 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.

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.
• 617 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
• Star history from the full report of Nov 1, 2026; this update did not re-read it.
