Data sources & attribution
Transparency about where TopGit's information comes from and how we handle it.
Primary source: GitHub
All repository facts — owner and name, description, topics, primary language, license, stars, forks, and activity dates — come from GitHub's public data. GitHub is the single source of truth for repository metadata on TopGit. Metric values on each page reflect the most recent synchronization.
Discovery signals
To decide which repositories are worth reviewing, TopGit watches public discovery signals such as newly created and fast-growing repositories on GitHub. These signals are used only to find candidates worth covering — never to copy content from any other site.
Editorial content
Reviews, summaries, and topic descriptions on TopGit are written originally for TopGit. We do not republish README files verbatim, and we do not present third-party content as our own. When a repository's documentation is incomplete, we say so rather than filling gaps with guesses.
Attribution
Every repository page links to its canonical GitHub repository. Full credit for the software belongs to its authors and maintainers. If you represent a project and would like a correction, please reach out via our about page.
