About GitTrend

What is GitTrend?

GitTrend is a multi-platform repository intelligence platform that scores and ranks open-source projects using an explicit, methodology-driven approach. Unlike popularity-only rankings, GitTrend combines trajectory signals, documentation quality, and community health into a single composite score.

The GitTrend Score

Every repository is scored on a 0–100 scale with four verdict bands:

70–100
Green
Recommended
50–69
Yellow
Caution
30–49
Red
Not recommended
0–29
Critical
Avoid

Methodology

45%

Trajectory Signals

Release velocity, issue-to-star ratio, days since last push. Projects that ship frequently and maintain activity score higher.

35%

Documentation Quality

README section coverage (install, usage, API, examples), documentation-to-code ratio. Agent-friendly docs are weighted positively.

20%

Popularity & Community

Stars, forks, contributor count, and community engagement. A smaller but healthy signal.

Agent API

GitTrend provides an agent-optimized API at /api/v1/agent/repos designed for LLM consumption. Responses include structured recommendations, key signals, and risk flags — no fluff, just actionable intelligence.
