Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-09 (UTC), 11:35–12:29: 26082 → 26082 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +7 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • GitHub Trending TypeScript today: #7, +26 stars.

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
