Shotstars 3.0 Tool Update
An updated version of the monitoring tool Shotstars 3.0 has been released. This tool is designed for tracking the movement, disappearance, and appearance of fictitious “stars” for projects on Github. GitHub’s full-time capabilities do not provide users with information on waning “stars” in the project and allow you to get information only to add them. The project is written in Python and is distributed under the license gplv3+.
Functionality of Version 3.0:
- Determining the wrapping of stars.
- Calculation of parameters such as aggressive marketing, trend, fake stars, peak of popularity and its date.
- Verification of repositories for the addition and reduction of stars with statistics for the selected period of time.
- Determination of the real date of creating a repository.
- Calculating the size of any public repository.
- Providing a brief description of the repository.
- Preservation of the history of scanning with the choice of previously taken into account projects for quick verification.
- CLI- and HTML reports including statistics, time periods, duplicate the activity of users, URLs and graphics.
- Search for users intersecting from different GitHub projects.
- Calculation with an accuracy of a minute and displaying the time of removing GitHub-border for repeated scanning.
- Support for Windows7+, GNU/Linux and Android. Registration/authorization is not required for GitHub.
Main Changes:
- The algorithm for building a graph is changed to track the addition of stars to determine any activity of the repository from the moment the project is created.
- CLI- and HTML reports now include additional metrics like peak stars and its date, aggressive marketing (Low, Medium, High, Hard), wrapping fake stars (Yes/No), trend based on statistics on the further growth of stars.
- Acceleration in finding intersecting users in scanned projects, including those who have a private profile.
