# huggingface/blog — GitHub star history and repository health

Canonical HTML: https://gitdebt.com/huggingface/blog

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 | 3,519 |
| Series | public star actions (historical data) |
| Star events observed | 3,136 |
| History covers | 2020-02-14 to 2026-09-07 |
| Repository created | 2020-02-14 |

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 | +22 | 2025-02-05 |
| Best week | +76 | 2025-02-05 to 2025-02-11 |
| Best 30 days | +168 | 2023-05-04 to 2023-06-02 |

### Milestones

| Stars | First reached | Days from creation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 100 | 2020-11-17 | 277 |
| 1,000 | 2023-05-27 | 1,198 |

## 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 | 80 commits in the last 90 days, 81 in the 90 before · last commit 2026-08-26 |
| Ownership | 26 of 530 contributors write half of 3,124 attributed commits · top author 146 commits |
| Repair load | 858 of 7,746 file changes came from fix-labelled commits |
| Debt markers | +2 TODO/FIXME markers in the last 90 days · 3 outstanding |
| Change hotspot | `_blog.yml` · 975 changes · 93 fix-labelled |
| File freshness | 420 of 2,919 tracked files touched in the last year |
| Commits read | 3,126 (full commit history) |
| Analysis last ran | 2026-08-27T19:11:47Z |

## Put this in a README

Three paste-ready snippets for `huggingface/blog`. 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.

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.
