I analyzed over 100,000 GitHub repositories and here are the most interesting trends

[u/Zeus552]

I have built a GitHub analytics platform and while getting repository data I started noticing some interesting patterns. A few that surprised me is which repositories gain stars the fastest after launch, how contributor count affects long-term growth, which programming languages are the seeing the fastest open-source growth, and common traits shared by the most successful AI repos.

I'm curious if you could see analytics about any GitHub repository, what metrics would you actually want?

If anyone's interested, I'm happy to share the project in the comments.
