A lot of people just starred one of my Github projects overnight (yay!). Is there any way for me to figure out where this influx of traffic came from? Does Github provide any kind of analytics?

githalytics provides some basic analytics. I don't think it would tell you about your traffic sources though. |

Natively from a GitHub account? No. If you want to try something else, consider adding an image or similar web bug to your README file. When someone comes across your repo, provided your README has an extension that GitHub will automatically render, then it should also load the image. And that should, depending on how the web bug is set up, give you some detail or clue as to the source of traffic. Or you could appeal via contact to the GitHub Supportocats and see if they're willing to give you a heads up on the incoming source of the sauce. |
