GoStars - Get the Attraction Gravity of a Go Package

gostars retuns the attraction graivity of a Go package in GitHub.

The aim of gostars is to provide as much information as possible to those who are struggling to decide which package to use, so that they can make an informed decision.

About "Gravity"

The element name "Gravity" represents the suction force of the Go package.

• The current basic formula for measuring attractiveness:

  weight := math.Sqrt(
      (numStars * numStars) +
      (numFolows * numFolows) +
      (numForks * numForks) +
      (numImports * numImports),
  )

Install

# macOS/Linux (x86_64/AMD64/ARM64/M1)
brew install KEINOS/apps/gostars

• For Windows, ARM5/6/7, etc. see the releases page.

ToDo

• Add more elements to the formula to measure weight.
  • Add Go Report Card's score.
  • Add code coverage rate.
  • Add "Code frequency" or "Pulse".
