The Star Metric measures and analyzes the number of stars a project receives on a code hosting platform like GitHub. This metric provides real-time data analysis of projects' popularity, community engagement, and overall project visibility.
Stars represent a way for users to bookmark or indicate their interest in and appreciation for a particular project. Each star serves as a measure of the project's popularity.
To analyze the Star Metric, the analytics tool employs a line chart on its dashboard. The line connecting the data points on the chart showcases the trend and changes in the number of stars over time.
