## Useful for

- Enable Resizable BAR on an old motherboard by patching UEFI firmware
- Build the DXE driver from source inside an edk2 tree
- Patch a UEFI image with UEFIPatch to remove 64-bit BAR limits

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 22 expected by the end of the day. The usual pace is 1 per day, so that's 16× as much.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 2 per day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- Hacker News: “ReBarUEFI: Resizable BAR for almost any UEFI system” — 61 points, 2 days ago.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
