# gitdebt > Cool statistics for public GitHub repositories: star history, growth, contributors, ownership risk, language activity, churn, bug magnets, maintenance cadence, and README-ready media. Gitdebt analyzes public repositories only. Private repositories are ignored and never counted. Star-history read surfaces use gitdebt's Postgres cache; repository-health analysis runs asynchronously against the public Git repository. ## Preferred representations - Add `.md` to any emitted HTML page URL for its Markdown representation. - Use the page's `` to discover that representation. - A repository's `.md` carries its measured star and health figures plus paste-ready README snippets for that repository: `https://gitdebt.com/{owner}/{repo}.md` - The complete embed catalog, every snippet, every query parameter, and a ready-made prompt for adding these to a README: `https://gitdebt.com/badges.md` - Repository star history: `https://api.gitdebt.com/api/repos/{owner}/{repo}/stars.json` - Repository health: `https://api.gitdebt.com/api/repos/{owner}/{repo}/stats.json` - Repository health summary: `https://api.gitdebt.com/api/repos/{owner}/{repo}/health.json` - Queue status and ETA: `https://api.gitdebt.com/api/repos/{owner}/{repo}/progress.json` ## Primary pages - https://gitdebt.com/ - https://gitdebt.com/report - https://gitdebt.com/leaderboard - https://gitdebt.com/compare - https://gitdebt.com/badges - https://gitdebt.com/about ## More detail - https://gitdebt.com/llms-full.txt
