Automated detection and tracking of fake engagement on GitHub — daily CI, zero infrastructure
GitGauge — Chrome extension that scores GitHub repository authenticity from stars/forks/watchers/issues ratios.
Score a GitHub repo's stargazers 0-100 by how many are real, active developers vs. new, inactive, or bot-like accounts. 100% client-side dashboard — runs in your browser, no backend.
Is this GitHub repo's hype real? Crawls a repo's recent stargazers and flags purchased/bot stars from the timing spikes and the empty accounts behind them. A fake-o-meter + a self-updating leaderboard of trending repos. Public data, no key needed.

Operation Long Shadow · Forensic investigation of a four-cluster GitHub repo-laundering operation that buries fabricated commits in 2037 to bubble laundered repos to the top of every AI-built-code search.
Rank a GitHub project's dependents by stars or trust — CLI that scrapes dependents and enriches via GraphQL.
Don't trust the star count. Verify it. Paste a GitHub repo URL. Get an instant credibility score based on stargazer behavior patterns.
Multi-dimensional GitHub repository trust scoring beyond stars — federates OpenSSF Scorecard, deps.dev, OSV. Apache-2.0.
Add a description, image, and links to the fake-stars topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.
To associate your repository with the fake-stars topic, visit your repo's landing page and select "manage topics."
