Star Count Issue?

[anuraghazra]

Okay i think it's also fetching the forked repo's stars, will fix it.

EDIT: well that's weird if it was fetching fork repo's stars then i would probably have 500k stars because i have lot of popular repos forked

[anuraghazra]

Ahh i see got it. i think it's also fetching the repos you contributed to and counting those stars too.

[anuraghazra]

Well yes, after testing it out with the new query, you have total of 1 star @kingthorin

[anuraghazra]

Its a new feature, just deployed few mins ago.

[anuraghazra]

Yup don't worry I'll fix it but firstly I need to fix 2 things.

#51 (high priority)
#49 (medium priority)

Then this one otherwise it'll make the rating system more biased

[anuraghazra]

@elliottzheng Forked and organization stars are not counted as personal star counts. it'll only show stars from repos which you directly own.

related to #1

[anuraghazra]

I am still facing the issue. Although I have 8 starred repo, it shows 2

#39 (comment)

As i said in this comment that what github-readme-stats shows is "how many stars you've gained in your repos" and what github shows is "how many repos you've starred" they are not the same.

[anuraghazra]

Those are two different values.

In the first image those are the repos that i starred, and on the second image it count how many stars i gained.

[kingthorin]

Do you mean across a dev's repos? Or is there a way to actually give a github user stars? (That might be a newb question, but I honestly don't see user/account stars functionality anywhere, but could be overlooking it.)

Either way something still seems off. For example for myself it shows 1.4k stars, however, I have like one actual repo with one star and one fork with one star (dunno who would star a fork).

Edit: If I look at https://api.github.com/users/kingthorin/repos I definitely only see 2 stars, not 1.4k:

Edit2: Also if you access your repos and filter for stargazers_count there's not 1k:

    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 8,
    "stargazers_count": 35,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 1,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 6,
    "stargazers_count": 0,

    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 2,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 32,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 0,
    "stargazers_count": 1,

[kingthorin]

I'll keep poking around and see if I can figure out what's going on.

[anuraghazra]

The updated gql query should be like this to filter only the OWNER repos and also filtering forked repos

repositories(first: 100, ownerAffiliations: OWNER, isFork: false, orderBy: {direction: DESC, field: STARGAZERS}) {
      totalCount
      nodes {
        nameWithOwner
        url
        stargazers {
          totalCount
        }
      }
    }

[kingthorin]

That seems logical.

[kingthorin]

Thanks that makes sense. Sad stat but that's not on you 😉

[anuraghazra]

although you still got S+ rank 😄

I think the ranking algorithm needs to be improved.

[kingthorin]

Well I'm a heavy contributor and just started the single star public repo in the last few months. So it probably makes sense.... I'm also not really a stats junky, I just came across this with the news of profile READMEs 👍 Where do you see the S+ rank you mentioned?

[kingthorin]

So I don't mean to be a pest or anything but do you plan to deploy the fix for this soon'ish? 😀

[kingthorin]

Thanks for tackling this!

Edit: Confirming fix deployed 😀

[elliottzheng]

I think that's not right, I am the creator and the main contributor to an organization with more than 8k stars, but I have just 51 stars, it makes me feel terrible. Besides, the API didn't count the archived repo, e.g. elliottzheng/copytranslator

[sayantani11]

I am still facing the issue. Although I have 8 starred repo, it shows 2
