GitHub users can now keep track of the disappearing “stars” from projects thanks to the newly developed tool called Shotstars. This tool addresses the issue of GitHub not providing users with information on dwindling stars in projects, only allowing them to add stars. Shotstars is written in Python and can be found distributed under the gplv3+ license.
Key Changes:
- Added support for Python 3.14.
- Reduced dependency on Python library versions.
- Updated the format of the “Scanning History” table, including the addition of a Star Pillar, creation of project backups, table cleaning, user notification about the new format, and backup location.
- Implemented a compact display mode for scanning history on Android/Termux due to terminal size constraints.
- Included new metrics in CLI and HTML reports: repository size and last repository update date, including hidden updates to track fraudulent commits.
- Added emoticons to enhance data visualization in HTML reports.
- Installation of the SHOTSTARS package via PIP, with self-contained .BIN/.EXE assemblies for Windows 7+, GNU/Linux, and Android/Termux (ARM, AARCH64) for users without Python installed. Experimental support for MacOS has also been added.
