What a month of stars shows
Over thirty days, a single viral post matters less and sustained interest matters more. The repositories here are the ones developers kept discovering for weeks: new tools that became part of people’s setups, and established projects that shipped something large enough to bring a new wave of users.
The figures are large, so read them with the percentage under each one. Tens of thousands of new stars on a project that already had hundreds of thousands is a modest change; a few thousand on a project that had a few hundred a month ago is a different kind of event.
A list that moves slowly
Because the window is long, this page changes little from one day to the next. A project stays until its big week falls out of the window. To see which of these are still gaining today, open the daily list; to see the ones that grew most for their size, open Fastest growing.
Each repository title leads to a page with its license, creation date and last push. A project created within the month and already on this list is worth a second look at those dates before you rely on it.
