⭐ GitStarPercentile

🤔 Have you ever wondered how popular your GitHub repository really is?

😠 Frustrated that GitHub doesn’t show star percentiles anywhere?

Maybe you’ve thought:

"Where does my repo rank compared to the other repos?"

Enter your star count and instantly see your percentile, calculated from GitHub-wide data.

🚀 Features

You’ll be prompted to enter the number of stars for your repository:

Your repo is approximately among the top xx.xxxx%.

📄 Data Source

If we count all public repositories:

If we only count public repositories with at least 1 star:

• Star statistics are pulled from all public GitHub repositories.

• Data is stored in stats/github_repo_stars.csv.

• Want fresher stats? Run the stats counter yourself and submit a pull request.

  python count_all_repo_stars.py --github-token $YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN

  The line above would run over all public repositories. For a more manageable run, sample 1 million instead.

  python count_all_repo_stars.py --github-token $YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN --sample-size 1000000

  Note I will not consider merging results with --sample-size below 1 million.
