[https://www.producthunt.com/posts/gittrends-github-insights](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/gittrends-github-insights?ref=codetraveler.io) GitTrends helps you to monitor your GitHub Repositories: ✅ Connect to GitHub ✅ Monitor GitHub Repo Views ✅ Monitor GitHub Repo Clones ✅ Discover Referring Sites I created GitTrends because I love contributing to open source libraries, but I had trouble keeping track of which repos were receiving traffic and which ones were not. For example, I recently discovered that a repo I hadn't updated in +2 years was still getting 10-20 views per week. All of the code is totally open source on GitHub and I absolutely welcome new feature requests and PRs! 📝 [Leave us a comment on Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/gittrends-github-insights?ref=codetraveler.io) ⭐️ [Open a Feature Request on GitHub](https://github.com/brminnick/GitTrends/?ref=codetraveler.io) | GitHub Login | Repo Traffic | Referring Sites | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ![View Repositories](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13558917/75208427-77500100-5730-11ea-9654-7255ed051536.gif) | ![View Repo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13558917/75208368-5091ca80-5730-11ea-8602-8c63244bf229.gif) | ![Referring Site](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13558917/75208328-30faa200-5730-11ea-92c7-d316f6cb39e6.gif) | | ![View Repositories](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13558917/74350902-43a5cc00-4d6b-11ea-8c9f-c1bafbfcb415.gif) | ![View Repo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13558917/74351618-363d1180-4d6c-11ea-8244-dc2e1c6cdfe4.gif) | ![Referring Site](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13558917/74351991-b9f6fe00-4d6c-11ea-9eb5-57260493256b.gif) | ## Resources ### Mobile App -
