GitHub Top 10, Week 17 of 2026
Apr 17, 2026 - Apr 23, 2026
The ten repositories that gained the most stars on GitHub in the week of Apr 17, 2026 - Apr 23, 2026, counted from GitHub's public event log. A star is a bookmark, not an endorsement: the commit counts and flags below show which ones people are actually building.
Partial data. GitHub's public event log is missing most events on Apr 21, 2026, Apr 23, 2026. Counts for this week are minimums, and a repo whose surge fell on those days may be ranked too low.
