GitHub star history

github crates.io build status

Command line program to generate a graph showing number of GitHub stars of a user, org or repo over time.

$ cargo install star-history

Compiler support: requires rustc 1.46+

Usage

We require a token for accessing GitHub's GraphQL API. If you have the GitHub CLI (gh) installed, you can run gh auth status to find out whether a token is already set up on your machine, and gh auth login if one isn't.

$ gh auth login

$ star-history dtolnay
$ star-history serde-rs
$ star-history rust-lang/rust

Simply pass multiple arguments to display multiple users or repositories on the same graph.

The generated graphs use D3; the star-history command should pop open a browser showing your graph. It uses the same mechanism that cargo doc --open uses so hopefully it works well on various systems.

If you prefer not to use the gh CLI, you can instead provide a token to star-history through the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable. Head to https://github.com/settings/tokens and click "Generate new token (classic)". The default public access permission is sufficient — you can leave all the checkboxes empty. Save the generated token somewhere like ~/.githubtoken. Then export GITHUB_TOKEN=$(cat ~/.githubtoken) prior to running star-history commands.
