OPEN-SOURCE WATCH / DAILY PICKS

Your next discoverystarts with open source.

Official GitHub data. A daily set of emerging projects to explore.

Real data. Transparent selection.

Public, non-fork, active repositories created in the last 30 days with at least 20 total stars and a declared open-source license, sorted by total GitHub stars.

Stars are cumulative; 24h changes require historical snapshots. These are 6K6 rule-based picks, not GitHub’s official Trending list.
