Fork Growth

Fork Growth is useful when you care about developer experimentation and code-level adoption. Forks can indicate that users want to test, modify, or build on top of a project.

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”

In the product, switch from the Trending headline dropdown to Fork Growth. In the API, use the repository list endpoint with sort=forks_gained.

Terminal window
curl "https://gitstars.io/api/repos?sort=forks_gained&window=7d&limit=20"

Interpretation

Section titled “Interpretation”

Fork growth is not the same as production adoption. Treat it as a signal for developer curiosity and implementation interest.
