How this leaderboard works
gitdebt caches the public timestamp of every star on the repos it analyzes. "Trending" counts stars added in the trailing 7 days; "most starred" ranks by current totals. A repo appears once its complete star history is cached, so the board covers the 818 repos analyzed so far rather than all of GitHub — look up any repo to add it.
