GitHub star history

===================

[](https://github.com/dtolnay/star-history/actions?query=branch%3Amaster)

Command line program to generate a graph showing number of GitHub stars of a

user, org or repo over time.

```console

$ 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.

[GitHub CLI]: https://cli.github.com

```console

$ 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](https://d3js.org/); 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

 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.
