What is "Watchers"?
The Watchers metric on GitHub refers to the number of users who have chosen to "watch" a particular repository. This means that they will receive notifications about any activity or updates related to that repository, such as new commits or issues being created. Watchers are useful for determining the level of interest or popularity of a project, and for building a community around it. It can also be used as a signal for potential contributors or collaborators.
