Github Traffic

A straightforward tool for tracking GitHub repo traffic over time, which matters because GitHub only keeps the last 14 days and then tosses it. Fetches views, clones, referrers, and stars via the gh CLI, saves snapshots locally to build history, and generates PNG trend charts with matplotlib. Requires push access to the repo, so read-only collaborators are out of luck. The real value is in running it on a schedule to accumulate months of data you'd otherwise lose. Good for maintainers who want actual traffic insights beyond GitHub's tiny window, though you need to remember to snapshot regularly or set up a cron job.
