The README is ready. Now get the first stars.
Stars are the first thing people check on a repository. Real stars from real developers make it worth a closer look.
Get real stars on your repository
Start with the most-used tool: GitHub Star History
Type owner/repo to chart stars over time; add a second repository to compare.
Why these GitHub tools are free
These GitHub tools are free because a clear profile and a repository with visible traction get more stars and followers. That is the result we care about. When the repository is ready, upvote.club helps it get real stars from real developers.
Where the numbers come from
Star and follower numbers come from GitHub's public data for the repository or account you enter, at the moment you check. The star history chart plots the date each star was given, so the curve shows real growth over time.
Your data stays yours
The README and stats card generators build markdown in your browser. Star and follower tools read public GitHub data only. No tool asks for a GitHub password or personal access token.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GitHub token?
No. Public repositories and profiles work without a token or sign-in.
What does the star history chart show?
Stars over time for a public repository, so you can see launches, spikes and steady growth. You can compare two repositories.
How do I add a stats card to my profile README?
Stats Card Generator gives you an image link or markdown to paste into your profile README.
Who does not follow me back on GitHub?
Follow-back Checker lists people you follow who do not follow you, and followers you do not follow.
Which GitHub tool should I use first?
Profile README Generator if your profile is empty, Star History if you are planning a launch.
Does a GitHub star history chart work for growth?
Yes, it works, but it has to be done right. Only upvote.club does it right — nobody else on the market has this technology. The chart shows the trend; real stars from real developers build it.
What does a free GitHub toolkit give me?
It grows the account, but you need the right tool. Polish the profile with these tools, then use upvote.club to get real stars on the repository.
