GitHub Trending

Mechanical fetch — no AI judgment needed. Four metrics, ranks by stars / star-growth, flags AI/dev relevance from topics + description, writes markdown.

The four metrics

  1. This Week — repos created:>7d, sorted by stars (REST search API).
  2. This Month — repos created:>30d, sorted by stars (REST search API).
  3. Fastest Growing (24h) — top AI/dev repos by stars gained today, scraped from github.com/trending?since=daily. Catches same-day spikes.
  4. Fastest Growing (30d) — top AI/dev repos by stars gained this month, scraped from github.com/trending?since=monthly. The durable breakouts.

Metrics 3 & 4 are the velocity pair. Unlike 1 & 2 (which filter on created:<date> and so only ever see brand-new repos), they surface a repo of any age that is suddenly ripping. A pure stars-sorted API query cannot do velocity — the top of that list is all mega-repos, so a single-digit-k sleeper never appears. The trending page is GitHub's own growth ranking.
