May 1, 2026 - May 7, 2026

The ten repositories that gained the most stars on GitHub in the week of May 1, 2026 - May 7, 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 May 1, 2026, May 4, 2026, May 5, 2026, May 6, 2026, May 7, 2026. Counts for this week are minimums, and a repo whose surge fell on those days may be ranked too low.
