Growth we measured
11 daily star snapshots stored by whatstrending.ai, 2026-07-02 to 2026-08-08. GitHub shows today's number; this is the movement behind it.
- Ranked #33 by stars among the 954 repos we snapshot, using the latest star count we recorded for each.
- Rank movement: #16 on 2026-07-09 (136,890 stars) → #16 today — unchanged among the 169 repos we snapshotted in both windows.
How this is measured. whatstrending.ai stores its own daily star and fork snapshot for every repo in its trending index. Every figure above is a delta between two of those stored rows — 11 snapshots for anthropics/claude-code between 2026-07-02 and 2026-08-08. Our history starts 2026-06-19; we hold nothing from before that date. Nothing here is estimated, interpolated or back-filled, and days without a snapshot are simply not plotted.
Add the Trending AI Repo badge to your README
anthropics/claude-code is in the whatstrending.ai tracked index, so this badge already resolves. It is free, needs no account, and updates itself: the rank is recomputed from our stored daily snapshots and the image is re-fetched a few times a day. Clicking it lands on this page, which shows the star history we measured.
