# google/boringssl — GitHub star history and repository health Canonical HTML: https://gitdebt.com/google/boringssl Status: analyzed. Every figure below is measured — star history from gitdebt's Postgres cache, repository health from the public Git history. Private repositories are never analyzed or counted. ## Star snapshot | Metric | Value | | --- | --- | | GitHub stars | 2,272 | | Series | public star actions (historical data) | | Star events observed | 2,164 | | History covers | 2016-03-05 to 2026-09-15 | | Repository created | 2016-03-05 | The series records public star *actions* and cannot see unstars, so it is an attention signal rather than a net-star curve. The GitHub star total above is the headline figure. ### Growth records | Window | Stars gained | Dates | | --- | --- | --- | | Best day | +6 | 2019-04-16 | | Best week | +19 | 2022-01-07 to 2022-01-13 | | Best 30 days | +45 | 2024-03-05 to 2024-04-03 | ### Milestones | Stars | First reached | Days from creation | | --- | --- | --- | | 100 | 2016-10-03 | 212 | | 1,000 | 2021-01-15 | 1,777 | ## Repository health Raw figures over the trailing 90 days, computed from the public Git history. gitdebt publishes the counts rather than a grade here: judge them against what the project claims to be. | Reading | Figures | | --- | --- | | Maintenance | 218 commits in the last 90 days, 420 in the 90 before · last commit 2026-08-27 | | Ownership | 2 of 285 contributors write half of 10,480 attributed commits · top author 5,236 commits | | Repair load | 2,845 of 81,138 file changes came from fix-labelled commits | | Debt markers | +7 TODO/FIXME markers in the last 90 days · 8 outstanding | | Change hotspot | `include/openssl/ssl.h` · 992 changes · 56 fix-labelled | | File freshness | 2,290 of 21,752 tracked files touched in the last year | | Commits read | 10,485 (full commit history) | | Analysis last ran | 2026-08-29T21:29:08Z | ## Put this in a README Three paste-ready snippets for `google/boringssl`. Every URL is a plain public image: no account, token, build step, or GitHub Action. Each snippet already carries light and dark variants, alt text, and the link back to the report. ### Metrics badge Stars and forks in one compact chip. Goes in the badge row directly under the project title. ```html google/boringssl stars and forks ``` ### Star history The full cumulative star curve. Goes in a `## Star history` section near the bottom of the README, above License. ```html google/boringssl star history ``` ### Repository card Stars, forks, contributors, languages, and a 90-day sparkline in one panel. Goes in an About or Project status section. ```html google/boringssl repository statistics ``` Snippets are static by design, because motion in somebody else's README should be their decision: add `animate=1` to an SVG URL when it is wanted and it plays in a GitHub README, or use the `.gif` variant for a surface that takes raster alone. Keep the surrounding link and its `?ref=readme` — attribution lives on the link, never in an image URL — and do not add cache-busting parameters.
