Caution
Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.
Why
- One person wrote 81% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. (source 1, source 2)
What would change this
- A second person takes a substantial share of commits.

Stars
CompleteOrganic, confidence high
Bursts
- May 28, 2014 to May 31, 2014: about 227 more stars than usual, peak 98 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post, a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Apr 13, 2015 to Apr 14, 2015: about 71 more stars than usual, peak 71 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post, a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Jul 15, 2015 to Jul 16, 2015: about 73 more stars than usual, peak 56 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post, a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Nov 7, 2020 to Nov 10, 2020: about 386 more stars than usual, peak 153 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- May 19, 2021 to May 20, 2021: about 53 more stars than usual, peak 49 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
- 2k stars on a repo created before February 2013 have no date, so they aren't in the chart.
- 1 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 13, 2026).
Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.
- The star history looks organic.
- 2049 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
