GitHub's Trending page and search rankings prioritize recent growth velocity over total star count. This tool tracks the complete history of when and by whom stars were awarded to a specific repository, visualizing these growth patterns.

It supports calculating daily, weekly, and monthly growth rates and detecting peak days, allowing you to input multiple repositories simultaneously to compare growth trends with competing projects. Analysis results can be exported in CSV and JSON formats for further visualization or data processing.

Automatic retry (backoff) logic is implemented to account for GitHub API request limits. By configuring a GitHub token to bypass the default limit of 60 requests/h, processing speed can be increased to 5,000 requests/h, which is advantageous for large-scale data collection.
