​
Repository Signals

Gitquarry only uses explicit, explainable repository facts.

​
Query Signals

Query ranking uses literal matching across:
  • repository name
  • description
  • topics
  • README when --readme is enabled
There is no synonym expansion in v1.

​
Activity Signals

Activity uses:
  • pushed_at
  • updated_at
  • latest release recency
  • archived penalty
If you care about freshness, --rank activity is the right choice.

​
Quality Signals

Quality uses:
  • stars
  • forks
  • contributor count when available
  • license presence
  • README presence
  • template status
There are no issue-based or trending signals in v1.

​
Non-Fatal Signals

Contributor count can be missing on very large repositories. That does not fail the command. Gitquarry treats it as an unavailable optional signal.

​
