## Description

Star History is a suite of utilities for visualizing the growth of GitHub repositories over time. It functions as a star growth visualizer, a repository comparison tool, a metric embedder for external websites, and a trending analytics dashboard.

The project enables the analysis of star acquisition rates for multiple repositories on a single chart to determine relative growth. It also provides the ability to rank repositories by growth windows to identify rising projects.

The system covers project analytics and open source benchmarking by generating time-series charts and growth reports. It supports the export of static chart images and the integration of live growth badges into external environments.
