I have a few open source repositories on my GitHub profile. Usually, they only get users when I mention them publicly. However, one of my repositories is gaining stars and users on its own. It is interesting.
Suddenly, people started installing my pip package, submitting pull requests, and starring the repository:
- GitHub repo insights traffic shows that most people come from Google.
- At pypistats I can see much more activity after 2024-11-06 but I did nothing these dates.
Do you have any ideas about why this is happening? How does it work? Why were no visitors and changed in a single day without my activity?
How does it work on your repos?
I would love to create more useful open source solutions that people can find organically, without needing to promote it myself. But I still don’t understand how this process works.
