Notes on google/boringssl

How many stars does google/boringssl have?

What does recent star activity look like for boringssl?
gitdebt observed about 4 public star actions for google/boringssl over the latest 90 days of archive coverage (about 4 in the latest 30). This is an approximate attention signal, not a net-star count, because unstars are not present. That's below its lifetime average activity pace, which is common for mature projects.
Is boringssl still active?
Public archive data shows about 4 star actions for google/boringssl in the latest 30 days of coverage. For repository activity, use the commit heatmap, commit trend, and contributor charts on this page.

Light and dark variants, alt text, and one provenance line. Provenance is text in your README, never baked into the image URL, so the chart stays cacheable.

Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any coding agent with your checkout open. It carries the measured numbers, the exact snippets, and the rules — including replacing an existing star-history widget in place rather than stacking a second chart under it.
