GitHub Trending Report

Use the github-discover CLI to fetch real-time GitHub data and generate structured trending reports — discover fast-rising repositories, newly popular projects, and hot topic tags.

Installation

npm install -g github-discover

Requires Node.js 18+. Check with node --version.

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥ 18
• github-discover installed globally (see Installation above)

Commands

trending — Fastest-growing repositories

Ranked by daily average stars with a 30-day smoothing factor, removing age bias to surface genuinely fast-rising projects.

github-discover trending [options]

popular — New high-star repositories

Sorted by raw star count descending, focused on recently created high-popularity projects.

github-discover popular [options]

Same options as trending.

topic — Hot topic tags

Scored by repoCount × log10(starSum) to surface trending technology topics.

github-discover topic [options]

Data Windows (trending command)

Standard Workflow for Generating a Report

When a user requests a GitHub trending report, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify the tool is available

github-discover --version

If the command is not found, prompt the user to run npm install -g github-discover, then stop.

Step 2: Determine the time period

Infer the period from the user's request: - "today" / "latest" / "right now" → daily - "this week" / "weekly" → weekly - "this month" / "monthly" → monthly - "this year" / "annual" → yearly - Not specified → default to daily

Step 3: Fetch all three data sets in parallel

github-discover trending -p <period> -n 10 --json
github-discover popular  -p <period> -n 10 --json
github-discover topic    -p <period> -n 10 --json

If the user specified a language (e.g. Python, TypeScript), append -l <language> to the trending and popular commands.

Step 4: Generate the structured report

Combine the JSON output from all three commands and produce a report in the following format:

📈 GitHub Trending Report

1. Fastest-Growing Projects

Source: trending — reflects real growth velocity, age bias removed

List Top 5–10 entries, each with: - Repository name (with link) - Short description - Star count / daily average growth - Primary language

2. Newly Popular Repositories

Source: popular — recently created projects gaining rapid traction

List Top 5–10 entries, same format as above.

3. Hot Topics

Source: topic — scored by repository count × star magnitude

List Top 10 topic tags with a brief description of each technology area.

4. AI Insights

Based on the data above, provide: - A 2–3 sentence summary of the key technical trends this period - Projects or movements worth watching closely - If a language filter was applied, a brief analysis of that ecosystem's current state

Limitations

• Data is sourced from the GitHub Search API; freshness depends on GitHub's indexing lag
• The trending growth score is estimated from creation time and star count, and it is not GitHub's official Trending page data
• The -l language filter matches only the repository's primary language; multi-language projects may be excluded
