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

$ cargo install star-history

Compiler support: requires rustc 1.40+

Usage

We require a token for accessing GitHub's GraphQL API. Head to https://github.com/settings/tokens and click "Generate new token". 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)

$ star-history dtolnay
$ 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.
