About
Understanding the pulse of open source development across the world’s major code hosting platforms.

The Trending Report is a weekly publication dedicated to tracking, analyzing, and synthesizing what’s trending across the world’s largest public git repository platforms: GitHub, Gitee, and GitLab.
In an era where open source development shapes the trajectory of technology, understanding the signals hidden in trending repositories is essential. Each platform serves different communities, geographies, and use cases — and by examining them together, we uncover patterns that no single platform can reveal alone.
Our analysis goes beyond simple star counts. We examine business domains, programming language adoption, the spectrum between open-source and commercial backing, and the monetization strategies that sustain the ecosystem.
