⭐ 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:

"I have 200 stars — but is that a lot?"

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

GitStarPercentile tells you instantly:

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

🚀 Features

• 📊 Instant percentile lookup — get your repo’s rank in milliseconds.
• 🖥 Simple CLI — just type git-star-percentile and enter your star count.

📦 Installation

From the command line:

pip install git-star-percentile --upgrade

⚡ Usage

From the command line:

git-star-percentile

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

Enter the number of GitHub stars: 200
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.
