# GitHub Trending Repos — Contribution Opportunity Finder Discover which public GitHub repositories are genuinely active and welcoming to contributors, ranked by real activity signals rather than raw star count. ## When to Use - Looking for open-source projects to contribute to - Evaluating which repos are "hot" vs stagnant - Finding performance optimization opportunities in popular projects - Periodic scan of the OSS landscape ## Step 1: Discover Candidate Repos Gather a broad list of popular repositories from multiple sources. ### 1a. GitHub Ranking Lists Fetch the top-100-stars list for a comprehensive baseline: ```bash # Fetch the curated top-100 list (auto-updated daily) gh api repos/EvanLi/Github-Ranking/contents/Top100/Top-100-stars.md \ --jq '.content' | base64 -d ``` ### 1b. GitHub Trending Page Use WebSearch to find currently trending repos: ``` WebSearch: "github trending repositories this week 2026" WebSearch: "github trending {language} repositories" (e.g., TypeScript, Rust, Python) ``` ### 1c. Language-Specific Rankings For targeted searches by language: ```bash # Top repos by language (replace LANG) gh api repos/EvanLi/Github-Ranking/contents/Top100/LANG.md \ --jq '.content' | base64 -d ``` Available: `TypeScript.md`, `Rust.md`, `Python.md`, `Go.md`, `CPP.md`, `Java.md`, `JavaScript.md`, etc. ## Step 2: Filter Non-Code Repositories Remove repos that are not actual software projects.
