Star History is a web application and API that generates GitHub star history charts and rank badges for any repository. It supports embedding live charts and badges in READMEs and is also available as a Chrome extension.

Use cases

  • plot the star growth of a GitHub repo over time
  • compare star history of multiple repositories
  • embed a live star history chart in a README
  • add a star history rank badge to my project
  • track trending open source projects weekly
  • view a star map of related repositories

When to choose

  • you want to visualize or compare GitHub repository popularity over time
  • you need embeddable live charts or badges for project READMEs
  • you want to discover trending open source projects

When to avoid

  • you need general GitHub analytics beyond stars, such as forks, issues, or traffic
  • you need offline or private-repo analytics
