Why these Tags: an agent read the README and quoted it
- Package manager from the readme:
Binstall provides a low-complexity mechanism for installing Rust binaries as an alternative to building from source (via `cargo install`)
An agent gave these Tags from the fixed Tag list in the AwesomeRepos source code. A code check kept each Tag only when its quote is in the text. A wrong Tag? Report an error with the form at the end of this page.
Admitted to the Repository Index on Nov 11, 2026: 2,963 stars on 2026-11-11.
Star History
189 days recorded, May 8, 2026 – Nov 12, 2026 (UTC). Net change +343 stars.
The star count of each day is the latest count minus the net stars of the later days.
Add this Star History to a README
The images follow the light or dark theme of the page that shows them, and update every hour.
Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark
to the chart address to keep one theme.

The timeline comes from the creation date and the releases on the Repository Host, the Admission, the Star History, and the Observations. Star milestones show only when the Star History records the day. The list shows up to 5 stable releases from the latest 10 releases recorded. When none of them is stable, one item counts the pre-releases. On the chart of net stars each day, a solid line marks each recorded release.

Health facts
Measured facts in four separate dimensions, each with a date and a source. AwesomeRepos does not add them into one score. AwesomeRepos reads the weekly commits, the changelog, and the community files each week for the 5,000 visible repositories with the most stars and for each rising repository.

The page lists the 30 with the most stars, of 58.
Sources: the GitHub dependency graph of each repository, and deps.dev for the source repository of each package (checked on Nov 3, 2026). A dependency graph also names development packages. deps.dev takes most source repositories from package metadata. How the dependency graph is made
