What is GitHub Trend?
A free tracker for what is hot on GitHub right now. It ranks repositories by day, week, month and all time, shows how many stars each one is gaining, and adds a short summary plus the key highlights for every repo, in English and Chinese.
How often is the data updated?
Every 8 hours.
Where does the star growth come from?
Two places, and the page labels which is which. 'GitHub trending data' is the growth figure GitHub itself publishes on its trending pages.
How is this different from github.com/trending?
GitHub's trending page is a single snapshot with no history. GitHub Trend keeps the history: growth sparklines, an all-time board, bilingual summaries, and browsing by programming language or domain.
Is GitHub Trend free?
Yes. No account, no sign-up — just open the page.
