How the ranking works
Every day at 00:00 UTC Hotfork takes a snapshot of public GitHub repositories and records each repo's star count. The trending score is the raw difference between the current count and the snapshot — no votes, no editor picks, no sponsored slots. Repos with the largest star gain this month rank highest.
This monthly snapshot tracks 8 repositories across 11 languages. The score counts stars only — forks, issues, and pull requests are shown on repo pages but never change a repo's rank. The same snapshots power the free Hotfork iOS app.
FAQ
How is this different from GitHub Trending?
Hotfork ranks by raw stars gained since the daily snapshot (00:00 UTC) — a transparent, reproducible number. GitHub Trending's ordering isn't publicly documented, so its results can't be checked or reproduced.
When is the feed updated?
A new snapshot is taken daily at 00:00 UTC. The page you are reading is served from the most recent snapshot, so the ranking is stable within the day instead of flickering while you browse.
Is Hotfork free?
Yes. The web feed and the Hotfork iOS app are both free, with no account required and no ads.
Does Hotfork track me?
No. There is no sign-in, no analytics and no advertising identifiers. Your bookmarks in the iOS app live on your device only.
