)

## install

`npm i --save github-star-history` or `yarn add github-star-history`

## usage

Export your GitHub token as `GITHUB_TOKEN` env.

```js

import countStars from 'github-star-history';

// or:

// const countStars = require('github-star-history').default;

const result = await countStars('visionmedia/debug', '2019-01-01T00:00:00Z');

expect(result).to.equal(7054);

```

## notes

- Due to GitHub API limits, if the past number of stars exceeds 39990, it returns 39990.

- The returned past number of stars can change if a user unstars a given repo because GitHub API returns only the current stargazers.
