What is "Stars"?
The Stars metric on GitHub is an indication of the popularity of a repository. It represents the number of users who have marked a repository with a Star, indicating that they are interested in the repository and want to keep track of updates. It is similar to a "Like" button on social media platforms, but on GitHub, it also serves as a bookmark for users to easily find the repository later. The more Stars a repository has, the more likely it is to be noticed by other users and potentially gain more contributors.
Example: The Stars metric can be used to compare the popularity of different open-source projects, for example, to determine which project has a larger community.
