GitHub has introduced a new trending page that makes it easier to discover interesting projects, showcasing a range of collaborations beyond just code, such as the White House open data policy and Chicago bike routes. This feature allows users to view trending repositories and developers across three time frames—daily, weekly, and monthly—by updating the data eight times a day. Users can filter trends by language, including an "unknown languages" option, and see projects based on their starred repositories or top languages on GitHub if they haven't starred any. Trending repositories display details such as the owner, primary language, description, and top contributors, while the developers tab highlights individuals and organizations with trending repositories, showcasing their most popular projects. The trending status is determined by various data points like stars, forks, commits, follows, and pageviews, with a focus on recent activity. To maintain effectiveness, only the top 25 projects are featured, though users are encouraged to explore further through GitHub's extensive search capabilities among its 7.8 million projects.
