Star History Revived
The classic GitHub star history chart, rebuilt and revived
About Star History Revived
Star History Revived is a modernized version of the classic GitHub star history chart, designed to address the limitations caused by GitHub's API deprecations. It serves as a seamless, drop-in replacement that restores the ability to visualize the historical growth of stars on GitHub repositories, which previously suffered from broken SVG charts across thousands of READMEs. This tool is particularly valuable for developers, open-source maintainers, and data enthusiasts who want to track project popularity over time without needing to authenticate with personal access tokens. Its revival ensures that users can quickly access accurate, real-time star analytics directly embedded in GitHub repositories, making it a vital resource for project health monitoring and community engagement analysis. The simplicity of integration combined with robust, API-free star tracking makes it stand out for those seeking a hassle-free, reliable visualization tool for GitHub metrics.
