Coincidentally, we just launched an improved version of our GitHub analytics app with hourly page view charts. We also show rankings by country and language for all repos (not just the top 25 ones).

You might want to check it out if you're interested in finding out why your project is trending: https://bitdeli.com/

Our language library can't always determine the language for the repository, but that won't keep the repository from trending.

Right, this is why you should do the obvious, common-sense, reasonable thing and let repository owners explicitly declare the language for their repo. Fiddling with byzantine mechanism to try and exclude library files, and other black magic, only to still be left merely hoping that they get it right, sucks.

It looks like GitHub removed the old rankings completely. For example, I can no longer see C projects ranked by star count. https://github.com/languages/C/most_watched redirects to https://github.com/trending :( To be honest, I mostly used those pages to satisfy my own vanity. My C project ( https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher ) just beat Arduino ( https://github.com/arduino/Arduino ) and was gunning for mr…

It seems like Github has been removing useful features with every update. I remember when I could actually see the traffic to my project pages, for example, but they removed that when they launched the new graphs.

Github owns gaug.es and it would make a lot of sense if they integrated it into github.com. One of the removed metrics is also clone counts.

I can't see the most watched or forked (in the hundreds), grouped by language anymore? Just the top 25? I'm not a fan of the change.

Here's the most forked https://github.com/search?q=%22&type=Repositories&s=forks

Here's the most starred https://github.com/search?q=%22&type=Repositories

You can filter by language on the left.
